Chevrolet two weld studs that mount the front and rear side impact air bags may fracture and separate from the air bag during deployment.
The short version
General Motors LLC reported a problem with the air bags side/window. Here is what owners need to know.
The two weld studs that mount the front and rear side impact air bags may fracture and separate from the air bag during deployment. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
Fractured weld studs may allow the side air bag to move out of position during deployment, increasing the risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the side air bag modules, free of charge.
