This recall is for replacement flip key assemblies sold as replacement parts. Please see Transport Canada Recall No. 2014-243 for additional details. There is a risk that some drivers may bump the ignition key with their knee and unintentionally move the key out of the "run" position. If this happens, engine power, power braking and power steering would be affected. This can cause a sudden increase steering and brake pedal effort. This could also cause the airbags not to deploy in a crash.
Airbags that do not deploy properly could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. An increase brake pedal effort could cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Sudden changes in steering effort could also increase the risk of a crash.
General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the key(s). If a flip key is found, it will be replaced with a flat blade key as in Transport Canada Recall No. 2014-243.
On certain vehicles, there is a risk that some drivers may bump the ignition key with their knee and unintentionally move the key from out of the "run" position. If this were to occur, engine power, power braking and power steering would be affected, which would unexpectedly increase steering and brake pedal effort, potentially increasing stopping distances and the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. The timing of the key movement out of the "run" position, relative to the activation of the sensing algorithm of the crash event, may also result in the airbags not deploying in a subsequent collision, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers are to remove the key blade from the original flip key/transmitter assemblies provided with the vehicle, and provide two new keys and two key rings for every original key. Important note: Until the correction is performed, drivers should adjust their seat and steering column to allow clearance between their knee and the ignition key.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain vehicles equipped with a V8 engine, the positive battery cable may contact the starter motor housing, which could cause chafe damage to the cable insulation. If the insulation wears through to the cable it could create an electrical short, which can result in a no start condition, cause the engine to stall without the ability to restart, or cause an engine compartment fire. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will reroute the positive battery cable to ensure adequate clearance.
