    General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2016-2021 Chevrolet Malibu and 2019-2021 Cadillac XT4 vehicles. The rear seat belt retractors may be improperly secured with loose or missing fasteners.

What the ratings mean

NHTSA published frontal crash, rollover resistance and side pole for this vehicle but not side crash. An untested area is not a poor result — it means no published data exists, and the overall star rating is calculated without it.

NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 15.4% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.
