Well, we finally have an actual recall to talk about.

GM is in the process of recalling 555 2008 Solstice and Sky models to inspect the inboard seat studs. It is expected that 5% or less (28 cars or less) will need 1 or more of the studs replaced.

Condition

General Motors has decided that certain 2008 model year Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky vehicles fail to conform to Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 207 and 210 for seating systems and seat belt assembly anchorages. These vehicles may have one or more inboard seat stud fasteners that do not meet GM's specification for strength. In the event of a crash, the seat and seat belt assembly may not restrain the occupant as intended and could result in injury to the occupant.

Correction

Dealers/retailers are to inspect the inboard seat studs, and if necessary, remove the stud and install a bolt.

Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed on October 10th. Dealerships that have invloved cars are scheduled to receive lists on October 3rd. The GM Vehicle Inquiry System (GMVIS) should have the selected cars identified as of September 25th.
