The fuel pressure regulator in your vehicle is a safety valve that helps control the pressure in your fuel tank. In some cases, the regulator may not be sealed properly, which could cause a leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel regulator leaks, gasoline could spill out and potentially cause a fire. This could happen while you're driving, refueling, or parked.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty fuel pressure regulator with a new, sealed one, completely free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible.

Original — What Happened
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND MINI VANS, SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A PASSENGER AIR BAG THAT WAS MANUFACTURED WITHOUT A CHECK VALVE PIN. AN AIR BAG WITHOUT THE CHECK VALVE PIN COULD PRODUCE INCREASED PRESSURE AT THE ONSET OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND REDUCED PRESSURE AFTERWARD.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
THIS COULD INCREASE THE SEVERITY OF INJURY TO A PERSON WHO WAS NOT PROPERLY RESTRAINED AND WHO WAS CLOSE TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AT THE TIME OF DEPLOYMENT. IT COULD ALSO REDUCE THE AB8ILITY OF THE AIR BAG TO PROTECT A RESTRAINED FRONT SEAT PASSENGER.
Original — Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN DECEMBER 16, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020, PONTIAC AT 1-800-762-2737, OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-442-6537, OR SATURN AT 1-800-553-6000, PROMPT #3.
Your vehicle's passenger air bag inflator module might not have the right amount of generant, which is a critical part that helps fill the air bag. This could cause the air bag to not work properly or explode in a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash that triggers the air bag, a faulty inflator could explode and send sharp metal and plastic debris into the passenger area, causing severe injuries. Alternatively, the air bag might not inflate at all, leaving you more vulnerable to injury.
Free Fix
A free replacement of the passenger air bag module will be done by an authorized dealer. You should contact the dealership to schedule a service appointment and have the repair done. If you don't receive the repair in a reasonable time, you can call Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737, or Saturn at 1-800-553-6000 for assistance.

Original — What Happened
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND MINIVANS. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR MODULES WERE BUILT WITHOUT THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF GENERANT, WHICH PRODUCES THE GAS THAT FILLS THE AIR BAG. SOME WERE BUILT WITH A DOUBLE LOAD OF GENERANT AND SOME WERE BUILT WITHOUT GENERANT.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT WOULD TRIGGER A PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, A DOUBLE LOAD OF GENERANT CAN CAUSE THE INFLATOR MODULE TO EXPLODE. IF THE AIR BAG MODULE EXPLODES, METAL AND PLASTIC DEBRIS COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY TO VEHICLE OCCUPANT. A MODULE WITH NO GENERANT WOULD NOT INFLATE THE AIR BAG, AND THE OCCUPANTS COULD RECEIVE MORE SEVERE INJURIES.
Original — Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULE. TELEPHONE CALLS WERE MADE TO OWNERS ON JANUARY 29, 2001. FOLLOW UP OWNER MAILING BEGAN ON APRIL 17, 2001.

Your vehicle is equipped with a seat belt buckle assembly that's attached to your seat belt. This buckle helps keep you safe in a crash by holding the seat belt in place.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a car accident, the buckle could fail and your seat belt might not restrain you properly. This increases the risk of serious injury or even a life-threatening accident.
Free Fix
Your dealer will check the buckle assembly's date code and replace it if necessary, all for free. You should schedule the inspection as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
