On certain vehicles, the passenger-side airbag inflator was not built to GM's Specification and could fracture during a deployment. Pieces of the inflator could strike and injure occupants and the airbag cushion would not inflate fully therefore reducing the capability of the airbag to protect the passenger. Correction: Dealers will install a new passenger-side airbag.
