Details
What's wrong: Welding on the passenger airbag inflator may fracture when the airbag is deployed, allowing some gas from the air bag inflator to vent behind the instrument panel, instead of into the air bag.
Why it matters: As a result the air bag may not fully inflate, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: General motors will notify owners and dealers will replace the passenger air bag module, free of charge. The recall began on August 23, 2013.
