The short version

General Motors LLC reported a problem with the air bags. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

Accordingly, the Automatic Occupant Sensing (AOS) system may fail to suppress the front passenger air bag if a child seat is in the front passenger seat. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the front passenger air bag deploys with a child seat in the front passenger seat, it increases the risk of injury to the child.

WHAT TO DO

GM will notify owners, and dealers will correct the calibration-learning error by preconditioning the empty seat, and also resetting the ECU to a seat zero-value, free of charge.
