NHTSA recall 02V178000
Air Bags · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain pickup and utility trucks, some of these vehicles have an air bag sensing diagnostic module (sdm) which contains an anomaly that could result in the driver and passenger's air bag failing to deploy during certain frontal crashes.
Why it matters: In a vehicle crash, front seat occupants may receive more severe injuries.
The fix: Dealers will recalibrate the sdm on the affected vehicles. Owner notification began August 28, 2002.
