NHTSA recall 11V534000
Air Bags · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: A 5th percentile female anthropomorphic test device (atd) in a 30 mph frontal barrier test exceeded the head injury criteria (hic) requirements of the standard. With the front passenger seat positioned full forward, the seat position sensor will cause a 30 milliseconds deployment delay between the first and second stages of the dual-stage frontal passenger air bag.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, this delay may result in increased head injury to certain front seat occupants.
The fix: Gm dealers will reprogram the sensing and diagnostic module free of charge. The safety recall began on November 30, 2011.
