- [14V400000](/recalls/nhtsa/14V400000.md), 2014-07-03: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system.  Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key.  The key fob \(if applicable\), should also be removed from the key ring.    General Motors LLC \(GM\) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000\-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo,  1997\-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004\-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999\-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998\-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999\-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004\-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles.  In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
- [00V140000](/recalls/nhtsa/00V140000.md), 2000-05-18: STRUCTURE:BODY. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:    THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE OCCUPANT PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 201, "OCCUPANT PROTECTION IN INTERIOR IMPACT."

## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2014284](/recalls/tc/2014284.md), 2014-07-03: Electrical. On certain vehicles, a defect in the ignition switch could allow the switch to move out of the "run" position if the key ring is carrying added weight or the vehicle goes off\-road or is subjected to some other jarring event.  If this were to occur, engine power, power steering and power braking would be affected, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.  The timing of the key movement out of the “run” position, relative to the activation of the sensing algorithm of the crash event, may also result in the airbags not deploying in a subsequent collision, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: For each key, dealers will install two key rings and modify the key ring opening shape. Note: Until the correction is performed, all items should be removed from the key ring.
- [2000123](/recalls/tc/2000123.md), 2000-05-31: Structure. Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 201 \- Occupant Protection.  The console cover does not remain closed when a specified vertical load is applied. During a crash, the console cover could open and the cover or items stored under it could injure an occupant.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the console latch mechanism.
- [1999060](/recalls/tc/1999060.md), 1999-04-15: Seats And Restraints. Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 210.1 \- Tether Anchorages for Child Restraints . The bolt in the child rear seat tether kit is too long, has insufficient threads to meet proper clamp load, and the spacer in the kit is too short.  In the event of a vehicle crash, a child seat may not be properly restrained by the anchor, and injury to the seat occupant could occur. Correction:  Dealers will replace any previously installed child seat tether bracket kits.
- [1998248](/recalls/tc/1998248.md), 1998-12-22: Steering. On certain vehicles, the steering wheel could become loose on the steering shaft due to insufficient torque on the steering wheel retaining nut.  This could result in loss of steering control and a crash without prior warning.  Correction: Dealers will inspect the steering wheel retaining nut for correct torque and tighten as necessary.
