General Motors is recalling nearly 250,000 crossover vehicles worldwide to inspect second-row seat belts that could be damaged and not latch.
GM says the recall affects 2009-2010 models of the Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook.
Most of the recalled vehicles are in the United States but some are also in Canada, Mexico and elsewhere.
GM says the seat belt buckle could be damaged when the seat back is returned to an upright position. That could make the buckle appear to latch when it isn't.
The automaker says it does not know of any cases where the second-row seat belts failed to perform properly in a crash.
