What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2014-2015 Chevrolet Impala vehicles manufactured between April 15, 2013, and June 19, 2015, that are equipped with front vented-heated passenger seats. In these vehicles, the Automatic Occupant Sensing system may fail to suppress the front passenger air bag when a child seat is placed in the front passenger seat, which increases the risk of injury to the child in a crash.

To remedy this issue, GM will notify owners and dealers will correct the problem at no charge by preconditioning the empty seat and resetting the Engine Control Unit to a seat zero-value. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Affected owners should contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, and may reference GM recall number 15400.
