Recall Alert: 2009-2010 Chevrolet Impala
CARS.COM
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 290,000 model-year 2009-10 Chevrolet Impala sedans manufactured between April 25, 2008 and Feb. 16, 2010
The Problem: The front passenger seat frame may contact and damage the wires of the passenger presence sensor module. The passenger presence sensory system may then fail to recognize that the passenger seat is occupied, disabling the airbag. Damage may also cause the airbag fuse to short, resulting in a loss of all airbags and seat belt pretensions. Both conditions increase the risk of an injury in a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will double-wrap the wires with anti-abrasion tape and replace damaged wires as necessary for free.
What Owners Should Do: GM did not immediately announce an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call Chevrolet at 800-521-7300 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
