Vehicles Affected: Approximately 5,500 model-year 2014-15 Chevrolet Impala sedans manufactured between April 15, 2013, and June 19, 2015, and equipped with heated and cooled front passenger seats
The Problem: The Automatic Occupant Sensing system may fail to suppress the front passenger airbag if a child is in the front passenger seat; if that airbag deploys with a child-safety seat in the front passenger seat, it increases the risk of injury to the child.
The Fix: Dealers will correct the calibration-learning error by preconditioning the empty seat and also reset the ECU to a seat zero-value for free.
What Owners Should Do: The automaker has not yet announced an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call Chevrolet at 800-222-1020 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov, for more info.
