The short version

General Motors LLC reported a problem with the electrical system ignition. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position.

WHY IT MATTERS

If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury.

WHAT TO DO

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition lock housing, free of charge.
