Defect summary | General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 chevrolet impala vehicles manufactured april 25, 2008 through february 16, 2010. The front passenger seat frame may contact and damage the wires of the passenger presence sensor module. |
Consequence summary | If the wires are damaged, the passenger presence sensory system may fail to recognize that the passenger seat is occupied, disabling the air bag. Damage may also cause the air bag fuse to short resulting in a loss of all air bags and seat belt pretensions. Both conditions increase the risk of injury during a crash. |
Corrective action | Gm will notify owners, and dealers will double wrap the wires with anti-abrasion tape and replace damaged wires as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on august 1, 2016.
