GM Issues Recall For Two Of Its Most Awesome Roadsters Ever

GM is recalling 91,000 MY 2007-2010 Skies (is that the proper way to pluralize Sky?) and MY 2006-2010 Solstices for potentially damaged passenger airbag sensors. According toCarComplaintsthe sensor is in the form of a mat that sits under the passenger seat. It is supposed to detect the weight difference between a child and adult. If the sensor deems the seat's occupant to be a child then the airbag will not go off in the event of a crash. The problem is that the sensor can bend over time, with damage done to its conductor. If this happens then the Sky/Solstice will get an error code deeming the sensor as faulty which will prevent the airbag from going off in a crash.

The good news is that a warning light saying "Service Airbag" will be activated in the event the sensor is damaged, as will the airbag warning light. A small chime will also sound. The bad news is that GM doesn't currently have a fix for the problem. There is also no timeline for when the recall will commence. For now you might want to hold off on buying a Sky or Solstice. Wait, scratch that. Don't wait to snatch up one of these all-American roadsters. Just make sure you don't have anyone sit in the passenger seat and you'll be OK.
