Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles were assembled with a roof rail air bags (rrab) that were not reinforced at the points were the bags contact the hardware used to attach the roof carrier.

Why it matters: During deployment, the rrab may be punctured or torn by the roof carrier hardware, reducing its performance and increasing the risk of occupant injury in the event of a crash.

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will replace the roof carrier attaching hardware, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in early September 2014.
