ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH

Manufacturer
UCI-FRAM Group
What Happened
The ignition switch in your vehicle is a crucial part that turns your engine on and off. There are some faulty ignition switches that can malfunction and shut off your engine if you're driving and the key ring is heavy or you hit a bump.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, your car could suddenly stall, and the airbags won't deploy in a crash – which could lead to serious injury.
Free Fix
Your General Motors dealer will replace the faulty ignition switch with a new one at no cost to you. The replacement is part of a national recall campaign, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.

Original — What Happened
UCI-FRAM Group is recalling certain LS1328 ignition Switches sold as Wells LS1328, Duralast LS1328, Airtex 1S6097, and Carquest 53-27479, and LS1497 Ignition Switches sold as Wells LS1497, Duralast LS1497, Airtex 1S10961, and Carquest 53-27967, for use on various General Motors model and model year vehicles during repair and replacement of the original ignition switch. The weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the affected ignition switches to move out of the run position, turning off the engine and disabling the air bags.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the ignition switch moves from the run position to accessory, the car would stall and the air bags will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury to the occupants.
Original — Remedy
UCI-FRAM Group has notified its purchasers to quarantine and return all inventory. Any switches already installed in vehicles will be replaced by GM dealers as part of NHTSA recall 14V-047, free of charge. UCI-Fram's purchasers should contact UCI-FRAM Group at 1-800-890-2075. GM vehicle owners requiring additional information on that recall campaign should contact GM at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-762-2737 (Pontiac) or 1-800-553-6000 (Saturn).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
The ignition switch in your vehicle is the part that connects the key to the car's electrical system. In some 2005-2011 Chevrolet and Pontiac vehicles, the key can be removed from the ignition when it's not in the 'off' position, which can cause problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If the key can be removed from the ignition when it's not supposed to be, your car could roll away if you're not in 'Park' or if you're not using the parking brake with a manual transmission. This increases the risk of a crash and injuries to you, your passengers, or pedestrians.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the ignition switch with a new one that's designed to prevent this issue, and they'll also reprogram your keys if needed. This service is free for you, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.

In the affected vehicles, the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "Off" position.
Original — Risk if Unfixed

This potential for rollaway increases the risk for a crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.
