2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern,[url=http://www.oakleysunglasses-outletcheap@#$%&/]oakley store[/url]
General Motors is recalling around 38,[url=http://www.karenmillen--dresses.co.uk/]karen millen dresses[/url],000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman that is,[url=http://www.marcjacobshandbagsoutlet.net/]marc by marc jacobs[/url], a woman around four foot,[url=http://www.nikeairmaxe.co.uk/]@#$%& air max 90[/url], 11 inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden,[url=http://www.@#$%&-airmax.it/]@#$%& air max[/url], which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report,[url=http://www.sac-longchamps.fr/]sac longchamp[/url], the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females,[url=http://www.juicycoutureoutlet.us@#$%&/]juicy couture outlet[/url], so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward,[url=http://www.juicycoutureoutlethandbags.in.net/]juicy couture[/url], the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30 millisecond delay between airbag stages,[url=http://www.louisvuittonpursesbag.net/]@#$%& handbags[/url], potentially leading to greater injuries.
With the Pontiac division closed, other GM dealers will reprogram the sensor module of models covered under the recall at no cost to vehicle owners. GM says that no injuries have been reported as a result of this issue. For more information on the recall, click past the jump for the official notice.
