General Motors is recalling 2,108 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles from the 2022 and 2023 model years because a structural part of the frame may not be properly welded. The front impact bar may not be correctly attached to the front frame rail, which can prevent crash sensors from working as intended. Dealers will inspect the vehicle's frame, and if the defect is found, General Motors will repurchase the entire vehicle from the owner.
If the front impact bar is not welded correctly, the vehicle's front crash sensors may fail to detect an impact or may not perform correctly during a collision. This failure increases the risk of injury to occupants because safety systems, such as airbags, may not deploy as designed.
You have 2 options:
Dealer inspection of the motor rail welds.
Vehicle repurchase by the manufacturer.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
