Issue: On certain vehicles, the driver-front airbag inflator could rupture when the airbag deploys in a crash.

Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the driver-front airbag module.

If you detect these symptoms, you should stop driving and have the vehicle towed to the nearest dealership. Safety Risk: A loss of stability could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Action: General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the adjustable rear toe links with a newly designed part.

Correction: Dealers will inspect and ensure the rear suspension toe link nuts are tightened to specification. If required, the rear suspension toe link will be replaced.

On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.6L V6 engine, the transmission control module calibration may cause a three-to-four second delay in acceleration. This will occur if the following sequence is commanded within two seconds: during an upshift from first to second gear (12 – 16 km/h), the driver then brakes the vehicle to less than 8 km/h, and then accelerates again. A lag in acceleration could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the transmission control module.
On certain vehicles, the wheel nuts may have been insufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly. If the wheels have not yet been removed and replaced due to winter tire installation or tire rotation, the wheel nuts may loosen, resulting in possible damage to the wheel studs and/or wheel(s). This could also lead to a complete separation of the wheel(s) from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will perform a tire rotation during which the wheel nuts are tightened to specification.
On certain vehicles, the transmission may shift from Driver Shift Control (manual) to Sport (automatic shifting) unexpectedly. If the driver was slowing the vehicle using DSC (manual) mode to achieve engine braking, engine braking would be cancelled without warning. In conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, this could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the transmission control module.
