Description:
General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2015 cadillac escalade and escalade esv vehicles manufactured april 6, 2014, through may 13, 2014. in the affected vehicles, the air bag module is secured to a chute adhered to the backside of the instrument panel with an insufficiently heated infrared weld. this may result in only a partial deployment of the front passenger air bag in the event of a crash. as such, these vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 208, "occupant crash protection."
