"General Motors announced two separate recalls of cars and trucks that total nearly 720,000 vehicles. The first recall involves 570,000 model year 2000 Chevrolet Silverado pickups and Tahoe/Suburban SUVs and GMC Sierra pickups and Yukon/Yukon XL SUVs. The recall is for
defects in the air bag sensing and diagnostic modules that can interfere with the timing and sequence of air bag deployment. This could result in the non-deployment of driver and passenger side air bags during frontal collisions. Only full-size pickups and SUVs built between February 1999 and February 2000 are affected by this condition. Owners should bring these vehicles to Chevrolet and GMC dealers where repairs will be performed at no cost to the customer.
The second recall involves approximately 150,000 model years 2002 and 2003 Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac cars and trucks. These vehicles may have a driver's side air bag inflator module that could fracture at a weld during deployment. Approximately 8,000 of these vehicles have inflator modules that will be replaced. There are no reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities related to this condition.
The vehicles involved were built between May and July 2002 and include 2002-03 Buick LeSabre, Cadillac DeVille, Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, Oldsmobile Aurora, and Pontiac Bonneville passenger cars; Chevrolet Venture, Pontiac Montana, and Oldsmobile Silhouette minivans; Buick Rendezvous, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, and Oldsmobile Bravada sport utility vehicles.
GM's suppliers uncovered the condition during routine testing. GM has asked owners of these vehicles to bring them to their Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac dealers. The dealers will inspect the driver's side air bag modules and replace those containing the suspect inflators with another air bag module assembly. These repairs will be performed at no cost to the customers. There have been no reports of incidents but it is possible that during deployment of the air bag, pieces of the inflators could fly into the passenger compartment and the air bag would not fully inflate.

well i think every company has had there share of recalls....
Yeah all companies have recalls. The 7th gen vic has already had it's share with fuel lines and safety restraint systems as well. Plus an insane amount of service bullitins issued for the car. Mind you that is only on one model versus the ten or fifteen listed above.
thats no way to speak a moderator
hehehe
GM doesnt usually have nearly as many recalls as lets say Chrysler does... Chrysler has had recalled on all their models pretty much...the original minvan they made, then the 96 and up and even the new ones now....both generations of the neon...

I agree, and as stated by some here even our beloved 'vic has has it's shares. But, most are limited to one model not their entire line, pretty much! It's sad when it is almost every car you make!
