 The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Saturday
that the air-bag modules for the 2008 and 2009 models might not
comply with federal standards for head injury protection.
No complaints, crashes or injuries have been reported related to the
issue, GM said.
But the company found that in case of a crash, the air-bag sensor
could be delayed and put some passengers at increased risk for a
head injury. GM said crash tests found that the risk was limited but
slightly higher for small women sitting in the front passenger seat.
GM dealers will reprogram the sensing and diagnostic module at no
charge.
The G8 was manufactured in Australia and imported to the United
States.
