Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Manufacturer
GENERAL MOTORS CORP.
What Happened
The air bag in your vehicle is the safety device that deploys in front of the driver in a crash. In some cases, the part that inflates the air bag could break apart and send sharp pieces flying towards you, while also preventing the air bag from working properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, the air bag might not deploy fully or at all, leaving you without protection in the event of a crash. Sharp pieces could also hit you, causing injury.
Free Fix
Your authorized dealer will inspect and replace the driver's side air bag module if necessary, completely free of charge. Just schedule an appointment and they'll take care of it.
