OCTOBER
2008 --
GM is recalling
79 MY 2009 Chevrolet Impala
vehicles. Some of these vehicles
have a passenger-side front air
bag inflator that could fracture
at an inflator tube during a
deployment. During a
passenger-side air bag
deployment, pieces of the
inflator tube could strike and
injure vehicle occupants and the
air bag cushion would not
inflate fully, reducing the
capability of the bag to protect
the passenger. Dealers will
install a new passenger-side
front air bag. The recall began
on October 10, 2008.
