Detroit (US), Aug 16 (AP) General Motors is recalling more than 484,000 large SUVs in the US to fix a problem that can cause the third-row seat belts to malfunction.

The recall covers Chevrolet Suburbans and Tahoes, Cadillac Escalades and GMC Yukons from the 2021 and 2022 model years.

The automaker says in documents posted on Tuesday by US safety regulators that rivets that hold the buckle to the mounting bracket on the left- and right side third-row seats may have been formed improperly.

The belts may not properly restrain a passenger in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
