DeVille V8-4.6L VIN 9 (1995)
Air Bag Control Module: Recalls
Defect and Vehicles Involved
DEFECT INVOLVED
General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1995 Cadillac Concours, DeVille, Eldorado, and Seville
model vehicles. If the vehicle is driven through deep standing water or otherwise accumulates a substantial amount of water or fluid on the carpeting
under the driver's seat, moisture may enter the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). If the interior of the SDM is exposed to water, one or both
of the vehicle air bags may deploy without prior warning. Air bags deploy with great force and can seriously injure anyone who is too close to them.
To reduce the possibility of this condition occurring, dealers are to clean the exterior case of the SDM and apply potting compound (specialized sealer)
to the SDM case and electrical connector body.
VEHICLES INVOLVED
Involved are all 1995 Cadillac Concours, DeVille, Eldorado, and Seville model vehicles built within the following VIN breakpoints:
