General Motors is recalling approximately 668,187 vehicles, specifically 2020-2023 Chevrolet Equinox and 2020-2023 GMC Terrain models, because the rear-seat lower child seat LATCH anchorage bars may have too much powder coating. This thick finish can prevent a child seat from being properly installed using the LATCH system, which fails to meet federal safety requirements. To resolve this, dealers will inspect the bars and remove the excessive finish as needed at no cost to the owner.
If a child seat cannot be properly installed with the LATCH anchorage bars, the seat may remain unsecured. An unsecured child seat significantly increases the risk of injury to a child in the event of a vehicle crash.
