: the contact stated while starting the vehicle the airbag warning light remained illuminated. Upon inspection the dealership determined the air bag sensing and diagnostic modules (sdm) experienced a memory error. The sdm was replaced by the dealer. There is a NHTSA recall, # 00v244000, regarding the air bag control module. The VIN was not included in the recall.

On my 2001 Chevrolet Impala, an air bag light was on. The gm dealership in new richmond WI, replaced an airbag module in October. A few weeks later I noticed online that there was a recall for my car, that being the airbag module that was changed. So I brought in the recall information to the gm dealership and they said my VIN doesn't show up as being part of the recall, so they couldn't help. But they said I could call up gm. So I called the Chevrolet customer assistance center at 1-800-222-1020. They also said that my car wasn't part of the recall. With having the right year, make, model, and replacing the exact part that was recalled, I believe my car should have been apart of the recall. Can you help? joel hetzel.
Airbag warning light illuminates randomly.
Air bag light came on while driving. Took to dealer, they replaced the air bag module. Potentially a problem with deployment in an accident. After reading other complaints I thought I should submit mine. Seems to be a problem with this car!.
Consumer states while his wife was driving the vehicle, hit a pot hole and lost control, having a front collision and neither of the air bags deployed. Dealer has inspected the vehicle 8 times in the last two years with air light sensor. Please provide further information. Ts.
