NHTSA campaign 26V696000 · 4 units potentially affected · filed Oct 21, 2026
What's wrong
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2026 Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles. The driver or front passenger seat may not have sufficient welds where the seat back recliner pivot mechanism attaches to a bracket on the seat frame.
Why it matters
Seats with insufficient welds may not restrain an occupant as intended in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will replace the driver or front passenger seat back frames, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 7, 2026. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N262576830.
