NHTSA recall 12V522000
Air Bags · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The driver side frontal air bag has a shorting bar which may intermittently contact the air bag terminals.
Why it matters: If the bar and terminals are contacting each other at the time of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal airbag, that airbag will not deploy, increasing the driver's risk of injury.
The fix: General motors will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering wheel airbag coil, free of charge. The safety recall began on January 11, 2013.
