2018 GMC CANYON — Complaint #1805999

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SEAT BELTS:PRETENSIONER filed April 6, 2022

NHTSA complaint #1805999 (ODI reference 11459854) concerns a 2018 GMC CANYON and was filed on April 6, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 2, 2022. The report was geocoded to Nevada based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as seat belts:pretensioner, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same GMC CANYON cohort independently describe similar seat belts:pretensioner failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2018 GMC CANYON shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

I was on dirt forest road that was not a trail, I went through a ditch at about 3MPH and my side airbags blew. As a result the seatbelt pre tension device was also activated and the seat heaters no longer work.
