Pontiac Air bag Recalls
Aztec
Air bags:frontal
Description: Vehicle description: Passenger, sport utility vehicles and minivans. The passenger air bag inflator modules were built without the correct amount of generant, which produces the gas that fills the air bag. Some were built with a double load of generant and some were built without generant.
Damage: In the event of a crash that would trigger a passenger air bag
deployment, a double load of generant can cause the inflator module to explode. If the air bag module explodes, metal and plastic debris could cause severe injury to vehicle occupant. A module with no generant would not inflate the air bag, and the occupants could receive more severe injuries.
Year: 2001
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 ab8ility of the air bag to protect a restrained front seat passenger.

Bonneville
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.

G6
Air bags:frontal
Description: Certain vehicles originally built with cloth seats that were equipped with an automatic air bag passenger sensing system and later reupholstered with aftermarket leather seat cover kits are involved. Testing has indicated that the aftermarket leather seat covers can cause the passenger sensing system to malfunction.
Damage: If the passenger sensing system malfunctions, the front air bag on the passenger side may be disabled when it should be enabled, or enabled when it should be disabled. In either case, in the event of a crash that requires air bag deployment, a front passenger’s level of injury may be increased.

Air bags:frontal:sensor/control module
Description: Certain passenger vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, ‘occupant crash protection.’ the right front passenger seats in these vehicles are built with a passenger air bag sensing system. When tested with a representative, unrestrained six year old child, the system is required to turn off the right front passenger’s airbag. Interference during system calibration caused the seats to be out of specification.
Damage: This can increase the risk of injury to a child seat occupant during certain crash conditions.

Grand prix
Air bags:frontal
Description: Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles. The passenger side air bag modules have an undersized inflator orifice.
Damage: In the event of a crash that would trigger a passenger side air bag deployment, this undersized orifice can cause the inflator module to explode. If an air bag inflator module explodes, metal and/or plastic debris could cause severe injury to the vehicle occupant.
Year: 2000
Air bags:frontal
Description: On certain passenger vehicles and mini vans, the driver’s air bag inflator modules could produce excessive internal pressure. In the event of a crash that would trigger a driver’s air bag deployment, the increased internal pressure can cause the inflator module to explode.
Damage: Metal and plastic debris could cause severe injury to vehicle occupants.

Air bags:frontal:driver side inflator
module
Description: On certain mini vans, passenger and sport utility vehicles, some of these vehicles have a driver’s side air bag that may not deploy as designed. In addition, the air bag inflator could rupture.
Damage: This could result in reduced capability of the air bag to protect the driver. Also if the air bag inflator ruptured, pieces of the inflator could strike and injure the vehicle occupants.

Sunfire
Air bags
Description: Vehicle description: Passenger vehicles. Because of certain calibrations in the air bag’s sensing and diagnostic module, an inadvertent air bag deployment could occur in a low speed crash or when an object strikes the floor pan.
Damage: Air bags deploy with great force and can seriously injure unrestrained occupants who are too close to them.

Torrent
Air bags:frontal:sensor/control module
Description: Certain sport utility vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, “occupant crash protection.” in these vehicles, the right front passenger seat is built with a passenger sensing system. When tested with a representative unrestrained small adult, the system is required to turn the right front passenger’s frontal airbag on. An error in the seat sensor calibration can cause it to fail this test. In addition, this condition can prevent the airbag from turning off when the seat is occupied by a small child.
Damage: Whenever the front passenger seat is occupied, the driver should always check the airbag indicator to see if the airbag is on or off. If it is not correct for the situation, the passenger should be moved to a different seat. This can increase the risk of injury to a seat occupant during certain crash conditions.
