Vehicles Affected: Approximately 60,000 model-year 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt cars manufactured between Jan. 4 and June 23, 2010

The Problem: The vehicles may be equipped with an improperly routed side-impact sensor wiring harness in the driver-side front door; this could cause an electrical short that disables the side curtain airbag on the driver side, increasing the risk of an injury in a crash necessitating the deployment of the airbags.

The Fix: Dealers will inspect the sensor’s wiring in the driver-side door and make necessary repairs for free.

What Owners Should Do: GM will begin notifying owners Wednesday. Owners can call Chevrolet at 800-222-1020, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
