A vehicle fire could result if materials ignite inside the vehicle.
Chevrolet is recalling 2020 Silverado 2500 trucks with carpet floor covering because seat belt pretensioners can ignite the carpet during deployment. This fire risk means owners should have the opening in the pretensioner bracket closed by a dealer to prevent potential fire.
When the front seat belt pretensioners deploy, hot gas may vent through an opening in the pretensioner bracket. This could ignite the carpet floor covering, potentially causing a fire inside the vehicle.
