What's wrong?
The front-row center seat belt in these 2019-2021 Chevrolet vehicles is anchored to a bracket inside the center seat and console area. That bracket is supposed to be fixed to the seat frame, so the belt can hold the center occupant against the seat structure when the belt is loaded. On vehicles with the split-bench front seat, the center seating position depends on that connection staying tight.
On affected vehicles, the supplier did not properly align and secure the seat belt bracket during seat manufacture. The bracket's ferrule, the small sleeve that locks the bracket to the frame, was left uncrimped on affected seats. If that connection is loose or detached, the center seat belt is no longer secured to the seat frame as designed.
Owners can notice a rattle from the center seat or console area. The front-row center seat belt also can feel loose or appear detached from the seat frame.
Who's affected?
The scope spans pickup and SUV nameplates from 2019-2021, with the front center seat listed across seat belt and critical-fastener component categories.

What's the safety risk?
A loose or unsecured front-row center seat-belt bracket can keep the belt from restraining the front center occupant properly, increasing injury risk in a crash. Listen for rattling near the center seat or console, and treat a loose or detached belt as a reason to leave that seat empty until inspection. Repair is free at any franchised Chevrolet dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019-2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Sierra 2500, Silverado 3500, Tahoe, Sierra 1500, Yukon Xl, Sierra 3500, Silverado 2500, or Suburban is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Chevrolet dealer to schedule the free seat-belt bracket inspection and reassembly that secures the front-row center seat belt to the seat frame.
- Bring the recall notice if Chevrolet mailed one. If not, reference recall number 20V792 when you call.
- Use another seating position until the repair is complete if the front-row center seat belt bracket has not been inspected.
- Call Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-462-8782 with questions about scheduling or recall coverage.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Chevrolet technician inspects the left-side and right-side front-row center seat-belt bracket attachments and reassembles any bracket that was not secured correctly to the seat frame. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. GM's reimbursement plan covers eligible owners who already paid for related seat-belt bracket repairs before the recall work. Ask Chevrolet customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit documentation for that prior repair.
