Defect summary | General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 chevrolet impala vehicles manufactured april 15, 2013, to june 19, 2015, equipped with front vented-heated passenger seats. Accordingly, the automatic occupant sensing (aos) system may fail to suppress the front passenger air bag if a child seat is in the front passenger seat. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 208, "occupant crash protection." |
Consequence summary | If the front passenger air bag deploys with a child seat in the front passenger seat, it increases the risk of injury to the child. |
Corrective action | Gm will notify owners, and dealers will correct the calibration-learning error by preconditioning the empty seat, and also resetting the ecu to a seat zero-value, free of charge. The recall began on august 25, 2015. Owners may contact chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. Gm's number for this recall is 15400. |
