Details

A safety defect may exist in ignition switches sold as service replacement parts.

The defect could allow the ignition switch to unintentionally move from the “run” position to the “accessory” or “off” position with a corresponding reduction or loss of power.

This risk may be increased if the key ring is carrying added weight or the vehicle goes off road or experiences some other jarring event.

The timing of the key movement out of the “run” position, relative to the activation of the sensing algorithm of the crash event, may result in the airbags not deploying, increasing the potential for occupant injury in certain kinds of crashes.

General Motors Canada will notify owners of all vehicles not affected by recalls 2014038 (GM number 13454) and 2014060 (GM number 14063) that could potentially have had the affected ignition switches installed during service or repair work.

Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for inspection and repair if required.

Note: Until the inspection is performed, all items should be removed from the key ring.
