GMC is recalling 1,631 2022 Canyon and Colorado vehicles with manual front passenger seats because a seat-frame hook attachment was not properly welded and can separate from the inboard track. If that happens in a crash, the seat occupant is not properly restrained and the risk of injury rises; the dealer repair will be free once GMC makes it available.

What's wrong?
The manual front passenger seat cushion frame is the metal structure under the seat bottom in these 2022 Canyon and Colorado trucks. It connects the seat cushion to the seat tracks, which let the passenger seat move and lock into place. A hook attachment on the frame helps keep the seat tied to the inboard track.
On included trucks, that hook attachment was not welded correctly. The supplier's laser welder was set too low during the production window for those seat frames, so the weld did not fully secure the hook. If the hook separates from the inboard track, the passenger seat is no longer held the way it was designed to be held.
If the hook attachment separates, the seat can rattle and feel loose. That loose feeling is the warning sign to report when you contact the dealer.

What's the safety risk?
An improperly welded front passenger seat frame can fail to restrain the occupant properly in a crash, increasing injury risk. If the seat rattles or feels loose, avoid using that seat and contact a GMC dealer for guidance. Repair will be free at any franchised GMC dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 GMC Canyon or Chevrolet Colorado is included in this recall.
- Use the July 6, 2022 owner letter, if you received one, before calling a franchised GMC or Chevrolet dealer.
- Contact the dealer to ask whether the free front passenger seat inspection is open for your VIN.
- Schedule the seat cushion frame inspection and replacement, if needed, to fix the improperly welded hook attachment that can separate from the seat track.
- Reference recall number 22V375 and GM recall N222368320 when you call.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a GMC technician will inspect the front passenger seat for the hook attachment problem and replace the cushion frame if inspection shows it is needed. The final dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under recall 22V375. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the covered vehicles are under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
