Check if your Vehicle has a Recall
Condition
According to Toyota, the subject vehicles are equipped with a front passenger air bag assembly containing an inflator, manufactured by an alternative supplier, installed as a replacement under a prior recall. There is a possibility that the air bag may not unfold as designed during inflation under high temperature conditions, resulting in air bag internal pressure rising differently than expected. Under such conditions, a portion of the air bag material could be torn during deployment, or the bag plate (which mounts the air bag to the air bag assembly case) could be damaged. In either instance, such damage during deployment could cause the air bag not to properly inflate, and this could increase the risk of occupant injury in the event of a crash.
Correction
Dealers are to replace the front passenger air bag assembly with an improved one.

Subject: Upcoming Safety Recall N192273760
Front Passenger Air Bag Inflator Module
Models: 2005-2008 Pontiac Vibe
To: All General Motors Dealers
Toyota has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) about an upcoming safety recall that involves 2005-2008 model year Pontiac Vibe vehicles. The GM recall number is N192273760.
It is a violation of federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification until the defect is remedied.
According to Toyota, the subject vehicles are equipped with a front passenger air bag assembly containing an inflator, manufactured by an alternative supplier, installed as a replacement under a prior recall. There is a possibility that the air bag may not unfold as designed during inflation under high temperature conditions, resulting in air bag internal pressure rising differently than expected. Under such conditions, a portion of the air bag material could be torn during deployment, or the bag plate (which mounts the air bag to the air bag assembly case) could be damaged. In either instance, such damage during deployment could cause the air bag not to properly inflate, and this could increase the risk of occupant injury in the event of a crash.
Parts are not currently available, but when parts are available, dealers are to replace the front passenger air bag assembly with an improved one.
Until further instructions are received, involved vehicles that are in dealers’ possession (new or used vehicle inventory, GM Certified Used, courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, etc.) must be held and not delivered to customers, dealer-traded, released to auction, used for demonstration purposes or any other dealer use. All GM Certified Used vehicles currently in the dealers’ inventory within the Certified Pre-Owned Inventory System (CPOIS) will be de-certified.
The Investigate Vehicle History (IVH) screen in the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system will be updated for this upcoming recall on August 30, 2019. This action has been taken to assist dealers with determining which vehicles are involved so they can properly respond to customer inquiries.
Question and Answer Document (Q&A)
Attached to this message you will find a document that addresses the ten most likely questions customers may have regarding this Safety Recall. Please use this information as an aid to confidently answer customer concerns.
Dealers will be advised when the recall bulletin is released. Until the recall bulletin is released, the IVH screen in GWM will display “N/A” under Release Date and “Incomplete – Remedy not yet available” under Status. This means the required repair is not yet available and dealers should not attempt to perform any repairs.

Application for Used Vehicle Working Capital Assistance Program (WCAP)
Models: 2005-2008 Pontiac Vibe
To: All General Motors Dealers
On August 29, 2019, GM sent to all GM dealers GlobalConnect Message GCUS-3-1570 regarding safety recall N192273760.
The required repair to complete this recall is not yet available. Until further instructions are received, involved vehicles that are in dealers’ possession (new or used vehicle inventory, GM Certified Used, courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, etc.) must be held and cannot be delivered to customers, dealer-traded, released to auction, used for demonstration purposes or put to any other use.
This message is to inform dealers who have involved vehicles in their inventory that they can now apply for the used vehicle Working Capital Assistance Program (“WCAP”) for safety recall N192273760.
Before proceeding with the application process described below, dealers must verify vehicle eligibility based on the program terms and guidelines that were provided in GM GlobalConnect Message GCUS-9-7345 dated February 21, 2019. Applications submitted on ineligible vehicles are subject to chargeback of any incentives paid to the dealer under the WCAP. Because compensation and tracking requires visibility into dealers’ inventory, dealers must also have agreed to a Dealer Data Share agreement with GM in order to receive any compensation under this program.
To apply for the WCAP for safety recall N192273760, dealers must access the GM Global Warranty Management (GWM) system and submit a “ZSET” warranty transaction using the labor code provided below for each eligible vehicle. This zero dollar special transaction type is the dealer’s application for compensation and constitutes a representation from the dealer that the vehicle is eligible for WCAP assistance.
Note: Acceptance of the warranty transaction does not ensure vehicle eligibility or guarantee the provision of any assistance as defined by program terms and guidelines.

ZSET
To be eligible for the WCAP, a vehicle must be in dealer inventory at the time the related field action bulletin is released. If a vehicle has been delivered, wholesaled or otherwise disposed of prior to release of the bulletin, the vehicle is not eligible for assistance. Additionally, recalled vehicles taken in on trade may be eligible for assistance if the dealer immediately reports the vehicle in used vehicle inventory via its Dealer Management System (DMS) and makes application through the GWM system.
To ensure that GM is receiving daily inventory information, which is necessary to process payments and make eligibility determinations under the WCAP, the dealer’s vehicles must be properly identified in the dealership’s DMS. A daily feed of this information is provided to GM through the Dealer Data Share (DDS) agreement.
For each eligible vehicle, a qualifying dealer will submit for WCAP vehicle enrollment with a “ZSET” transaction type and for reimbursement with a “ZFAT” transaction type both through the GWM system. If approved, a WCAP credit for that vehicle will be issued to the dealer’s “open account” similar to any other warranty credit. WCAP submission instructions and the required labor code will also be provided in the appropriate field action bulletin. Each WCAP transaction being credited will be clearly identified on the dealer’s daily credit memo.
In order to receive payment, a dealer must have timely reported the vehicle in used vehicle inventory, retained the vehicle until the related field action bulletin is released, and properly applied for the WCAP payment. The vehicle must also be otherwise eligible under WCAP rules and guidelines.
GM reserves the right to amend, modify, terminate, or cancel this program at any time in its sole discretion.

Condition
According to Toyota, the subject vehicles are equipped with a front passenger air bag assembly containing an inflator, manufactured by an alternative supplier, installed as a replacement under a prior recall. There is a possibility that the air bag may not unfold as designed during inflation under high temperature conditions, resulting in air bag internal pressure rising differently than expected.

Correction
Dealers are to replace the front passenger air bag assembly with an improved one.
Parts
Warning: The air bag and air bag harness for 2003-2004 and 2005-2008 vehicles are identical in appearance and installation. The two air bag designs, however, are NOT interchangeable and have different performance characteristics. Installing an incorrect air bag module may reduce occupant protection in the event of a crash and increase the risk of personal injury. Ensure the correct air bag kit is installed into the vehicle by verifying the air bag kit part number on the outside of the box BEFORE installing the air bag.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
This notice applies to your vehicle, VIN: __________________________________
Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Toyota has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2005 to 2008 model year Pontiac Vibe vehicles. As a result, GM is conducting a safety recall. We apologize for this inconvenience. However, we are concerned about your safety and continued satisfaction with our products.
IMPORTANT
• Your vehicle is involved in GM safety recall N192273760.
Why is your vehicle being recalled?
According to Toyota, the subject vehicles are equipped with a front passenger air bag assembly containing an inflator, manufactured by an alternative supplier, installed as a replacement under a prior recall. There is a possibility that the air bag may not unfold as designed during inflation under high temperature conditions, resulting in air bag internal pressure rising differently than expected. Under such conditions, a portion of the air bag material could be torn during deployment, or the bag plate (which mounts the air bag to the air bag assembly case) could be damaged. In either instance, such damage during deployment could cause the air bag not to properly inflate, and this could increase the risk of occupant injury in the event of a crash.
What will we do?
Parts to repair your vehicle are not currently available, but when parts are available, your GM dealer will replace the front passenger air bag assembly with an improved one. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
We are working as quickly as possible to correct this condition. When parts are available, we will send you another letter asking you to take your vehicle to your GM dealer to have your vehicle serviced. You can also check the status of this recall at: https://my.gm.com/recalls. If you have already paid for repairs for this condition, you may submit those charges using the reimbursement request form that will be provided with the next letter.
