Owners of this vehicle were written to on 24 August 2026. The summary was reworded on 15 September 2026, 22 days later, so the letter described the earlier version. Both versions are shown on this page. Back to the campaign.
This is an independent copy of the official notice, kept so you can see what changed. CarsMultiverse is not a safety authority: to act on this recall, use the authority’s own version at NHTSA, or the official register for your country (linked at the foot of this page).
Between 15 September 2026, 01:04 UTC and 15 September 2026, 07:34 UTC, the text of the defect summary (what is wrong) on campaign 26V494, filed by General Motors, was replaced. The authority publishes one version at a time. This is both.

If this is your car
The description of the fault was reworded. What the manufacturer has undertaken to do about it sits in the remedy on the same notice and is not affected by this edit.
A notice being edited is not by itself evidence of anything. Wording is corrected for ordinary reasons as well as significant ones, and we record that it changed without claiming to know why.

How we know
We re-read the wording of every campaign we hold on a rolling cycle and keep a dated copy with a SHA-256 of the text. This page exists because the hash we recorded on 15 September 2026 no longer matched the one we took on 15 September 2026. Nothing here is an interpretation of what the manufacturer meant; it is the difference between two files.
