Chevrolet affected vehicles have a front driver air bag inflator that may be misaligned to the air bag module backplate.
The short version
General Motors LLC reported a problem with the driver side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles have a front driver air bag inflator that may be misaligned to the air bag module backplate. This can cause the inflator to separate from the backplate during a deployment.
If the inflator separates from the back plate in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, this may cause the air bag or steering wheel components to separate and be propelled into the interior compartment, potentially seriously injuring the driver or other occupants. Additionally, the air bag may fail to properly inflate, increasing the risk of injury to the driver.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the driver air bag module inflator for proper alignment, replacing the air bag, as necessary, free of charge.
