General Motors LLC "GM" is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles manufactured January 6, 2014, to October 1, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the driver air bag connections may have been wired incorrectly. This could reverse the deployment sequence and disrupt the deployment timing of the driver air bag. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
If the driver air bag does not deploy as designed, there is an increased risk of driver injury in the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module "SDM", free of charge. The recall began on October 6, 2014. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 "Chevrolet" or 1-800-462-8782 "GMC". GM's number for this recall is 14690.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
