Technical Service Bulletin # 06143
Date: 070410
Recall - Occupant Crash Protection Non-Compliance
Subject:
FMVSS Noncompliance - Airbag System-Passenger Sensing
# 06143 - (04/10/2007)
Models:
2007 Pontiac G6
Condition
General Motors has decided that certain 2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles in the U.S. fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208,
Occupant Crash Protection. The right front passenger seats in these vehicles are built with a passenger sensing system. When tested with a representative,
unrestrained six year old child, the system is required to turn the right front passenger's frontal airbag off Interference when the system was calibrated can
cause it to fail this test. In the event of a crash, the frontal airbag could deploy and the child could be killed or seriously injured by the airbag.
The owner manual explains how to use the passenger sensing system. The airbag status indicator displays the status of the airbag. Whenever the front
passenger seat is occupied, the driver should always check the airbag indicator to see if the airbag is on or off. If it is not correct for the situation, the
passenger should be moved to a different seat. A child restraint installed properly in the back seat is the safest place for children.
Dealers are to replace the passenger sensing system.
