Summary

General Motors is recalling approximately 20,712 vehicles, specifically certain 2014 Buick Verano and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze models. The roof-rail air bag inflators in these vehicles may rupture at a weld joint, which is an expansion of a previous recall. Owners can have both the left and right-side air bag modules inspected and replaced by a dealer for free.

Risk

If an air bag inflator ruptures during deployment, it may only partially inflate the bag and can propel sharp metal fragments into the passenger cabin. These metal shards can cause serious or fatal injuries to vehicle occupants.
