What's wrong, in plain English

The instrument panel on these vehicles may be missing a perforation on its underside that is needed for the passenger-side air bag to deploy correctly. Without that perforation in place, the panel may not open the way it needs to when the air bag inflates, which can affect how the air bag inflates for the person in the front passenger seat.

What you should do

Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
Contact a Chevrolet dealer, or call Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.
The instrument panel will be replaced free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
