What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

What Happened
The airbag system in your vehicle has a special sensor to detect the weight of a passenger in the front seat. If you've had your seat reupholstered with a leather cover, this sensor might not work correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sensor fails, the airbag on the passenger side could be turned off when it should be on, or turned on when it should be off. If this happens during a crash, it could cause a passenger's injuries to be more severe.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Unfortunately, there's no fix for the seat cover, so GM will repurchase your vehicle. You should contact GM at 1-877-477-1022 to start the process, which will begin on November 6, 2006.
