Oldsmobile Air bag Recalls


Achieva
Air bags:frontal
Description: During deployment of the passenger air bag, the air bag fabric can snag on a reinforcement inside the instrument panel, causing the expanding air bag to lift the instrument panel pad and then deploy under the instrument panel instead of through the door in the instrument panel.
Damage: In a crash, the front seat passenger could receive more severe injuries if he or she contacts a broken reinforcement or if the snagging affects the deployment of the air bag.
Year: 1996


Aurora
Air bags:frontal
Description: Certain passenger, mini vans, and sport utility vehicles have an air bag inflator on the driver’s side that could fracture at a weld during a deployment.
Damage: Pieces of the inflator could strike and injure vehicle occupants and the air bag cushion would not inflate fully, reducing the capability of the bag to protect the driver.

Cutlass supreme
Air bags:frontal
Description: Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles. Corrosion of the air bag inflator’s internal wiring, which can occur over time, could cause the inadvertent deployment of the driver’s air bag. This deployment could occur during vehicle start-up, while the vehicle is parked or idling, or while in operation.
Damage: If the consumer is too close to an inflating air bag, serious injuries could occur.
Year: 1996, 1995


Silhouette
Air bags:frontal
Description: On certain passenger, sport utility vehicles and mini vans, some of these vehicles have a passenger air bag that was manufactured without a check valve pin. An air bag without the check valve pin could produce increased pressure at the onset of the air bag deployment and reduced pressure afterward.
Damage: This could increase the severity of injury to a person who was not properly restrained and who was close to the passenger air bag at the time of deployment. It could also reduce the ability of the air bag to protect a restrained front seat passenger.
