GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Filed under: Sedan, Safety, Hatchback, Buick, Chevrolet

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.

GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.Continue reading GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
