Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

General Motors is recalling 767 vehicles, including the 2013 Buick Verano and 2013 Chevrolet Camaro, Sonic, and Volt. The driver-side air bag inflators in these vehicles were manufactured with a defect that may cause them to explode during deployment. Dealers will replace the air bag module, and in some Volt models, the steering wheel as well, at no cost to the owner.

Risk

If the air bag inflator explodes during a crash, it can send sharp metal fragments flying into the cabin toward the driver and other passengers. This mechanism of failure can cause serious internal injuries or death even in minor collisions where the air bag is triggered.
