## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain 2003\-2004 Pontiac Vibe vehicles equipped with a front passenger air bag assembly replaced under a prior recall.  The replacement air bag may not unfold as designed during inflation in high temperature conditions, possibly resulting in the air bag not inflating properly.


## What can happen

An air bag that does not inflate properly increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the passenger air bag module, as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began February 19, 2020.  Owners may contact Pontiac customer service at 1\-800\-762\-2737.  GM's number for this recall is N192278940.
