Details
What's wrong: The fabric of the side-impact air bag cushion may tear during deployment.
Why it matters: If the air bag tears during deployment, the air bag may not perform as designed, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the air bag module, free of charge. The recall began October 27, 2016.
