Pontiac G8 Airbag Requires Reprogramming
General Motors is recalling certain 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 sedans because the airbags may not protect the front passenger during an accident. According reports filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), with the front passenger seat positioned full forward, the seat position sensor will cause a delay between the first and second stages of the dual stage frontal passenger air bag. This delay could result in increased head injury to smaller sized front seat occupants. Owners receiving a recall notice can take their G8 vehicles to their local dealer where the sensing and diagnostic module will be re programed. For more information, contact Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.
