The issue
On certain vehicles, the passenger-side airbag inflator was not built to GM's Specification and could fracture during a deployment. Pieces of the inflator could strike and injure occupants and the airbag cushion would not inflate fully therefore reducing the capability of the airbag to protect the passenger. Correction: Dealers will install a new passenger-side airbag.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, le dispositif de gonflage de coussin gonflable du côté passager n'a pas été construit selon les spécifications de GM et pourrait se briser lors d'un déploiement. Des morceaux du dispositif de gonflage pourraient percuter et blesser des occupants, et le coussin gonflable ne se gonflerait pas totalement, ce qui diminuerait sa capacité à protéger le passager. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un nouveau coussin gonflable côté passager.
