Additionally, the air bag may fail to properly inflate, increasing the risk of injury to the driver.
Remedy: GM has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the driver air bag module inflator for proper alignment, replacing the air bag, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 19, 2015.
