AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE
- Defect
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vehicles. Hard braking or acceleration may cause the sensing diagnostic module (SDM) to enter a fault state. As a result, the SDM will not provide crash sensing or deploy the necessary air bags in the event of a crash.
- Consequence
- In the event of a crash, if the air bags do not deploy as designed, the occupants have an increased risk of injury.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the SDM with updated software, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2018. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 18195.
