NHTSA recall 17V307000
Air Bags · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: In the event of a crash, if a young child is seated improperly and not wearing a seat belt while in the front passenger seat, deployment of the front passenger air bag may injure the occupant's neck. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor safety standard (fmvss) number 208, "occupant crash protection."
Why it matters: In the event of a crash with a frontal air bag deployment, an unbelted child in the front passenger seat has an increased risk of injury.
The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger air bag module, free of charge. The recall began July 5, 2017.
