I was buckling my seatbelt and the cable connecting the lap belt end to the seat base broke. The failure was at the top end of the cable where the cable is swedged into a bracket. From my inspection of the cable, it looked like a fatigue type failure of the cable at the point the flexure was stopped by the end connection.

On Saturday, January 18, 2020, I, [xxx], entered the stated vehicle and attempted to "buckle-up.? I grasped the seat belt.. and proceeded to pull into place.... to my astonishment the end of the seat belt attached to the vehicle came right out of the seat. See attached photo. Unfortunately, at that instant I was unaware that a voluntary recall was issued on this problem on April 15, 2016, for over 800,000 similar vehicles! I service my Silverado at the purchasing dealer since purchase date of 06/17/14. My question is why did the current repair protocols not find & repair this potentially catastrophic safety problem" we as consumers place all our trust in the vehicle manufacturers and on-going certified service centers. Thank god that this explanation did not cost me or my family injury or death. Please investigate this claim and possibly make the necessary changes to require manufacturers to actually do something positive to a known safety defect. We all put our trust in this system! thank you. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
