What's wrong?
The front seat frame in the 2015 Canyon and Colorado is the metal structure under the seat cushion. At the front of the frame, attachment hooks are supposed to lock into the vehicle body so the driver's seat and front passenger seat stay fixed while the truck accelerates, brakes, or takes a bump.
On affected trucks, those front attachment hooks were not properly attached during assembly at the Wentzville plant. The problem is not normal seat-track movement or a loose trim part. It means the front of the seat frame is not secured to the body the way the seating system requires.
An owner can notice the seat tilting back slightly when the truck accelerates quickly or when heavy pressure is placed on the upper seat back. That movement is the warning sign that the front seat frame is not properly hooked to the body.
Who's affected?
Canyon and Colorado are the two pickup nameplates in scope, tied to the same seat assembly.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific pickup.
What's the safety risk?
Loose seat-frame attachment hooks can leave the seat inadequately anchored, which raises injury risk for the seated occupant in a crash. Affected seats can tilt back slightly during rapid acceleration or when heavy pressure is applied to the upper seat back. Schedule inspection promptly and drive cautiously until the seat installation is corrected. Repair will be free at any franchised GMC dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 GMC Canyon or Chevrolet Colorado is included in this recall.
- Use the owner notice or dealer confirmation before scheduling the free seat-inspection repair.
- Reference recall number 15V267 when you contact a franchised GMC dealer.
- Ask the dealer to inspect the driver's and front passenger's seat-frame attachment hooks and correct the seat installation for free.
- Drive cautiously until the seat inspection is complete, and keep all passengers properly buckled.
What happens at the repair
Once the final dealer repair is available, a GMC technician will inspect the driver and front passenger seat installation and correct any seat-frame hooks that were not properly attached to the vehicle body. The dealer repair will be free once it opens, with parts and labor covered under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the new vehicle warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, since all involved vehicles are covered by that warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
