Recalled Vehicles:
1998 Cadillac Deville; 1999 Cadillac Deville
Component: Air Bags:side/window
Manufactured by: General Motors Corp.
Affected Units:: 215,293
Recall Summary:
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Some of the side impact sensor modules have quality problems that can cause an inadvertent deployment of the driver or passenger side impact air bags. These side air bags deploy with less force than a frontal air bag and are designed to minimize the risk of serious injury.
How to Fix:
Dealers will replace the driver and passenger side impact sensing modules. If the vehicle has had the side air bags temporarily disconected, the temporary disconnect will be removed before replacing the side impact sensing modules.
