What you should do
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tensioner cable assembly, replacing any cable that is damaged.

These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on November 3, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 31340.
