Last week, General Motors recalled approximately 300,000 Chevy Impalas containing defective seat belts which may not properly protect front seat passengers in the event of a car accident. The recall includes 2009 and 2010 model year Chevrolet Impalas sold in the United States and Canada.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the seat belt webbing many not be properly attached to the lap belt anchor on the door-side of front seats. Dealers will examine the recalled vehicles to make sure the seat belts are properly anchored. All repairs will be made free of charge.
