General Motors to recall 4.3 million cars globally
The issue is found in models built from 2014 onwards and has been linked to one death and three injuries.
General Motors will recall 4.3 million cars worldwide after detecting a software issue that caused airbag failures.
The issue is found in models built from 2014 onwards and, according to Reuters, has been linked to one death and three injuries.
The problem relates to a sensing and diagnostic module that controls airbag deployment.
GM said in an official statement that the software defect in the module can stop the deployment of frontal airbags under "rare circumstances when a crash is preceded by a specific event impacting vehicle dynamics”.
Of the 4.3 million affected cars, 3.64 million are in the US and come from Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC.
The company’s biggest UK brand, Vauxhall, has confirmed to Autocar UK that the recall won’t affect any of its vehicles.
