What this recall means for you
A sensor in the front passenger seat that controls the passenger air bag can become bent or damaged, which may cause the front passenger air bag to be disabled. The notice does not describe the vehicle beyond this, but the sensor sits within the seat that the passenger occupies.
If the front passenger air bag does not deploy as intended during a crash, the passenger faces a higher risk of injury.
The remedy is still being developed, so a permanent fix is not yet available. Owners can contact Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737 or Saturn customer service at 1-800-553-6000 for details, and should check their vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
