The 2009 Chevrolet Impala has 3 recalls, the most serious affecting police-package vehicles only, where a front lower control arm can fracture and cause the driver to lose steering control.
The remaining two recalls involve occupant protection. The front seatbelt on the outboard side of the front seat may not be properly secured to its anchor pretensioner, meaning the belt might not hold an occupant in a crash. There is also a concern with the front passenger seat sensor: the seat frame can rub against and damage the sensor's wiring, causing the system to fail to detect a passenger and leaving the front passenger airbag disabled.
