2016–2017 Chevrolet Spark Recall

Issued May 10, 2017
Issue
Hazard description
Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection in Frontal Impacts. During testing using unbelted, out-of-position 3-year-old and 6-year-old test dummies in the front passenger seating position, the dummies were subjected to axial neck force greater than permitted by the standard. Although it is unsafe and unadvisable for a child occupant to ride unsecured in the front passenger seat, a child in that position at the time of a crash necessitating air bag deployment may be subject to an increased risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag module with a low-risk deployment air bag module that has an added folded-in flap.
