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 safety-critical component (air bag) that may fail to deploy, creating a risk of injury in a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles. The recall addresses a defect in the Passenger Air Bag Suppression System (PPS) sensor located within the front passenger seat. This sensor may become bent or damaged, which can disable the front passenger air bag.

If the front passenger air bag does not deploy as intended during a crash, the front passenger faces an increased risk of injury. The remedy for this recall is currently under development, and a permanent fix is being created. The recall began on February 26, 2018.
