GM Recalls Around 900 Of Its Vehicles

The company announced that the driver's front air bag inflator can explode in a crash due to a manufacturing defect.

General Motors has issued a recall on nearly 900 of its vehicles.

The recall covers certain Chevrolet Camaro, Sonic, and Volt vehicles as well as the Buick Verano, all from the 2013 model year.

The company announced that the driver’s front air bag inflator can explode in a crash due to a manufacturing defect. The inflator creators used volatile ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate the air bags in a crash, but the chemical can deteriorate and explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister and releasing shrapnel.

An investigation into the Takata made air bags is underway led by the NHTSA.
