## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2014\-2015 Chevrolet Impala vehicles manufactured April 15, 2013, to June 19, 2015, equipped with front vented\-heated passenger seats. Accordingly, the Automatic Occupant Sensing \(AOS\) system may fail to suppress the front passenger air bag if a child seat is in the front passenger seat.  These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

If the front passenger air bag deploys with a child seat in the front passenger seat, it increases the risk of injury to the child.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will correct the calibration\-learning error by preconditioning the empty seat, and also resetting the ECU to a seat zero\-value, free of charge. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020. GM's number for this recall is 15400.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
