What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS

What Happened
The roof rail air bag is a safety feature that protects your head in the event of a collision. In some 2006-2008 Chevrolet HHR models without this feature, it might not work as intended.
Risk if Unfixed
If your HHR is involved in a crash, the air bag that's meant to protect your head might not deploy properly, which could lead to a serious head injury.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Chevrolet dealer will install a special plastic piece in the headliner to help absorb the impact and keep you safe. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.

Is YOUR vehicle affected?

This page lists the models and model years named in NHTSA campaign #08V046000.
