## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain 2016\-2017 Chevrolet Spark vehicles.  In the event of a crash, if a young child is seated improperly and not wearing a seat belt while in the front passenger seat, deployment of the front passenger air bag may injure the occupant's neck.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

In the event of a crash with a frontal air bag deployment, an unbelted child in the front passenger seat has an increased risk of injury.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger air bag module, free of charge.  The recall began July 5, 2017. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020.  GM's number for this recall is 17199.


## 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.
