Front Seat Head Restraint problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe

Dealership was not notified by the manufacturer on how to fix recall for the vehicle head rest restraint per consumer. Ts.

While climbing into the third row seat, my nine year old son received a severe cut on his right middle finger requiring seven stitches and several steri strips in the hospital emergency room. As he was he was lowering the second row seat, he put his finger into to the headrest closure. As the headrest automatically folded rearward, his finger was sliced open.

In the process of folding down the upright portion of seat back heast rest flipped back aggressively, one of the passengers had hand on/near/over headrest slot; thus while pushing down the seat the headrest unexpectedly flipped back, pinning the finger in the slot and lacerating it from side to side, the spring loaded headrest remained taught until seat is lifted back up beyond the latch release point after which the headrest must be flipped forward to latch back into position, the passengers finger was fractured, required seven stiches. Currently, has to go to a hand specialist for nerve damage. Nlm.

Putting down the second row seat to climb into the third row seat the headrest folds downs automaticly. My 10 1/2 year old son had his finger pressed down into the headrest closure as he was putting down the seat. He severed the nerve and tendon in the upper half of his middle finger that required surgery and 3 months recovery, with therapy. I was wondering if other head rest accidents have been reported. I have a clain on file with general motors asking them to look into other reports involving the headrest.
