2003–2008 Pontiac Vibe Recall

Issued March 3, 2016
Issue
Hazard description
On certain vehicles, the passenger (frontal) airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 2013-116, 2014-301 and 2015-272. Correction: Dealers are to replace the front passenger airbag assembly with one equipped with a newly specified inflator.
