02V222
Certain passenger cars, minivans, and sport utility vehicles have an air bag inflator on the driver's side that could fracture at a weld during a deployment. 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.
Dealers will inspect and replace, if necessary, the air bag module assembly on the driver's side. The manufacturer reported that owner notification was expected to begin during September 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Buick at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, GMC at 1-800-462-8782, Oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537, or Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737.

03V052
In some of these sport utility vehicles, the diameter of the steering column intermediate shaft is too small. This condition could allow the intermediate shaft to spin inside the steering column coupling, resulting in loss of steering control of the vehicle. If this were to happen while the vehicle is moving, a crash could result.
Dealers will inspect, and replace if necessary, the steering column intermediate shaft. The manufacturer has reported that owners were notified by telephone on Feb. 7, 2003, with a follow-up letter on Feb. 11, 2003. Owners may contact Buick at 1-800-521-7300.

On certain sport utility vehicles, structural support for the rear liftgate latch may be inadequate to retain the latch in certain crashes. If the liftgate were to open in a vehicle crash, an occupant could be ejected from the vehicle, resulting in increased risk of injury.
Dealers will add structural reinforcements to the liftgate in the area adjoining the latch assembly. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact Buick at 1-800-521-7300.
