According to Associated Press (AP), the recall covers certain Malibus built between May 2003 and March 2004 – of the total, about 95,000 of the vehicles are in the United States and about 8,300 are in Canada.


AP said Chevrolet dealers will insert a retainer in the seat belt anchor on both the driver and passenger sides of all the recalled vehicles and will reprograme the ABS controller in about 73,000 of the vehicles.


There have been no reports of incidents or injuries related to either condition, GM reportedly said.
