GM issued a recall to recall the Chevrolet Trax after it was discovered that the radios of the Trax might fail to warn the drive if the seatbelt is not fastened or when the key is left in the ignition.
The Chevrolet Trax will not be the only one affected by the recall as the recall will also affect models like the Chevrolet Spark and Chevrolet Sonic. The affected models will be the 2015 – 2016 Chevy Trax, 2015 – 2016 Chevrolet Sonic and 2013 -2015 Chevy Spark.
According to the report, the models that come with the “Bring Your Own Media” radio will fail to provide a warning chime to their drivers and that means the vehicles do not comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. NHTSA stated that “without audible indicators, the driver may not fasten their seatbelt, increasing the risk of injury during a crash”
Affected models will be getting an upgraded radio software. No dates have been announced yet.
