The short version

General Motors LLC reported a problem with the frontal sensor/control module-inactive. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

In the affected vehicles, the mounting stud used to secure the air bag sensing and diagnostic Module (SDM) may be incorrectly positioned, and as a result, the SDM housing could fracture.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the SDM housing fractures, water may get into SDM causing it to malfunction and hinder the proper deployment of the air bags in the event of a crash, thereby increasing the risk of occupant injury.

WHAT TO DO

GM will notify owners, and dealers will have the mounting stud repositioned and the SDM replaced, free of charge.
