Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module: All Technical Service Bulletins
Recall 02V178000: Air Bag Module Recalibration
DEFECT: Some pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles have an air bag sensing diagnostic module (SDM) that contains an anomaly that could result in
the driver and passenger's air bag failing to deploy during certain frontal crashes. In a vehicle crash, front seat occupants may receive more severe
injuries.
REMEDY: Dealers will recalibrate the SDM in the affected vehicles. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during
late August 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC at
1-800-462-8782.
