What's wrong?
The rear center seat belt in an affected 2024-2025 Sierra EV or Silverado EV is bolted to the flip and fold rear seat assembly. That anchor bolt holds the belt to the seat structure, so the belt can keep the center rear passenger restrained when the truck stops hard or is in a crash.
The problem is not the belt webbing itself. During supplier rework on the rear seat assemblies, the bolt that attaches the center belt was loosened and was not tightened back to manufacturing specifications. A loose anchor bolt means the center belt is not secured to the seat structure the way it was designed to be secured.
There is no warning sign before failure. The belt can look normal from the cabin, so the VIN decides whether the truck needs the dealer inspection and bolt tightening.
Who's affected?
Covers both EV pickup lines across the 2024 and 2025 model years, tied to the rear flip-and-fold seat assembly and its seat belt anchorage.

An improperly secured seat belt assembly can fail to restrain an occupant as intended, increasing injury risk in a crash. If your VIN is included, schedule the repair before using the affected rear center seat. Repair is free at any franchised GMC dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024-2025 GMC Sierra EV or Chevrolet Silverado EV is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised GMC or Chevrolet EV dealer to schedule the free rear-center-seat-belt bolt tightening, which secures the belt assembly to the rear seat structure.
- Reference recall number 25V015 when you call, and ask the dealer to confirm the repair is open for your VIN.
- Bring any dealer paperwork if you bought the truck from dealer inventory.
- Avoid using the rear center seating position until a dealer confirms the seat belt assembly bolt has been tightened.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a GMC technician tightens the bolt that attaches the rear center seat belt assembly to the rear seat structure. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, and the repair is available now. Because all covered vehicles are still in dealer inventory, owner letters will not be mailed. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because all covered vehicles are under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
