The short version

General Motors LLC reported a problem with the sensor occupant classification. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The front passenger seat frame may contact and damage the wires of the passenger presence sensor module.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the wires are damaged, the passenger presence sensory system may fail to recognize that the passenger seat is occupied, disabling the air bag. Damage may also cause the air bag fuse to short resulting in a loss of all air bags and seat belt pretensions.

WHAT TO DO

GM will notify owners, and dealers will double wrap the wires with anti-abrasion tape and replace damaged wires as necessary, free of charge.
