What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles manufactured between January 6, 2014, and October 1, 2014. In these vehicles, the driver air bag connections may have been wired incorrectly, which could reverse the deployment sequence and disrupt the deployment timing of the driver air bag. This means the air bag may not deploy as designed in a crash, increasing the risk of driver injury.

GM will notify owners and dealers will reprogram the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) at no charge. The recall began on October 6, 2014. Affected owners should contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 for Chevrolet vehicles or 1-800-462-8782 for GMC vehicles. Consumers can reference GM recall number 14690 when contacting the company.
