Transport Canada Recall - 2019450 - GENERAL MOTORS

Issue:
On certain vans, the seat belt and airbag warning lights will not turn on for approximately 5 seconds after the ignition is switched to the ON or start position. Canadian regulations require these lights to turn on to demonstrate that the airbag system is working properly (bulb check) and to remind a driver to fasten their seat belt.

Safety Risk:
Warning lights that do not turn on during the start-up check could confuse a driver. In addition, the driver would not see a reminder to fasten their seat belt. This could create an increased risk of injury in a crash.

Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the instrument panel cluster.
