I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM PONTIAC IN MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN DATED OCTOBER 2019 STATING THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY CONTAINING AN INFLATOR IS DEFECTIVE. THE AIR BAG MAY NOT UNFOLD AS DESIGNED DURING INFLATION DURING HIGH TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS .WHAT COULD HAPPEN IS THAT A PORTION OF THE AIR BAG MATERIAL COULD BE TORN DURING DEPLOYMENT, OR THE BAG PLATE COULD BE DAMAGED. SUCH DAMAGE DURING DEPLOYMENT COULD CAUSE THE AIR BAG NOT TO PROPERLY INFLATE, AND THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF OCCUPANT INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE LETTER FURTHER STATES THAT PARTS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. A RECENT CALL TO THE PONTIAC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE.
