Chevrolet right-hand rear side air bag inflator manifold may have insufficient welds.
The short version
General Motors LLC reported a problem with the air bags side/window. Here is what owners need to know.
The right-hand rear side air bag inflator manifold may have insufficient welds.
Insufficient welds could cause the inflator to separate and propel air bag debris into the cabin during a crash. Also, the inflator could fail to inflate during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear side air bag modules, free of charge.
