What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (air bag wiring) that increases the risk of driver injury in a crash, but the source text does not report any injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles manufactured between January 6, 2014, and October 1, 2014. The recall addresses a defect where the driver air bag connections may have been wired incorrectly. This wiring error could reverse the deployment sequence and disrupt the deployment timing of the driver air bag, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with 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. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

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.
