What's wrong?
The console compartment lid latch in the 2016 GMC Canyon and Colorado trucks is the small latch that keeps the center console storage door shut. In normal use, the latch spring holds tension on the latch so the lid stays closed while the truck is driven and during a crash. That closed lid is part of the interior impact protection the cabin was built to meet.
On affected trucks, the latch assembly contains the wrong spring. GM traced the issue to obsolete latch springs that were modified and installed instead of being scrapped after a design change. With that spring in place, the latch does not hold the console door securely enough, and the compartment door can pop open in a crash. The repair uses a replacement latch assembly with the correct spring.
There is no warning sign before failure. The console can look normal during daily use, so the VIN decides whether this recall applies.
