Defect summary | Uci-fram group is recalling certain ls1328 ignition switches sold as wells ls1328, duralast ls1328, airtex 1s6097, and carquest 53-27479, and ls1497 ignition switches sold as wells ls1497, duralast ls1497, airtex 1s10961, and carquest 53-27967, for use on various general motors model and model year vehicles during repair and replacement of the original ignition switch. The weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the affected ignition switches to move out of the run position, turning off the engine and disabling the air bags. |
Consequence summary | If the ignition switch moves from the run position to accessory, the car would stall and the air bags will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury to the occupants. |

Any switches already installed in vehicles will be replaced by gm dealers as part of nhtsa recall 14v-047, free of charge. Uci-fram's purchasers should contact uci-fram group at 1-800-890-2075.
