Chevrolet Impalas Recalled Over Seat Belts

DETROIT - More than 300,000 Chevrolet Impala sedans have been recalled by General Motors because the seat belts may fail to restrain people in the front seats during a crash.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says on its website that the front-seat belt webbing may not be secured properly to a lap belt anchor on the side of the seat near the doors. GM reported 32 such warranty reports to NHTSA through mid-August.

The recall affects Chevy Impalas from the 2009 and 2010 model years.

GM said customers can bring their Impalas to dealerships for inspection and repair if necessary. Dealers will inspect how the belts are anchored and will reinstall the anchors if needed at no cost to the owners.

Owners can contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438.
