AIR BAGS
Jul 24, 2015
If the front passenger air bag deploys with a child seat in the front passenger seat, it increases the risk of injury to the child.
Summary:
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Chevrolet Impala vehicles manufactured April 15, 2013, to June 19, 2015, equipped with front vented-heated passenger seats.

These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
