- [14314](/bulletins/10134766.md), 2018-04-23, Service bulletin: AIR BAGS. 14314 \- Special Coverage. Certain 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac G5, Solstice, Saturn Sky, and 2008\-2009 Chevrolet HHR SS vehicles may have a condition in which the steering wheel airbag coil wires to the driver airbag may become chafed on a sharp edge of the steering wheel horn plate. In vehicles with this condition, the airbag indicator lamp may be continuously or intermittently illuminated in the instrument panel cluster, and DTC codes B0012 or B0013 may be stored in the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint \(SIR\) system. If this condition is not corrected and a chafed wire were to ground to the horn plate, the driver airbag may not deploy in the event of a vehicle crash. Dealers are to install woven polyester electrical tape \(PET\) tape around the two yellow SIR wires and the metal horn plate to prevent a grounding condition from developing. Also, if the airbag coil wires are determined to be damaged, dealers are to replace the steering wheel airbag coil.
