2009 Pontiac G8 Recalls

The 2009 Pontiac G8 has 4 recalls, the most serious being an ignition position issue where the airbags may not deploy in a crash if the ignition key has rotated out of the run position, raising the risk of injury.

Two other recalls also affect crash protection. The front airbag control system can delay deployment in a frontal crash in a way that exposes smaller front-seat occupants to higher head injury risk. There is also a seatbelt concern: a cable in the seatbelt assembly can break, leaving an occupant without proper restraint in a crash. On the visibility side, the brake light switch can be incorrectly programmed so that the brake lights stay on after the driver lifts their foot off the pedal, which can prevent other drivers from recognizing when the vehicle is actually slowing down.

SEAT BELTS

At a glance

What can fail

The steel cables connecting seat belts to the vehicle near the driver and front passenger seats can bend when sat on during entry. Repeated bending may cause the cable to break.

What the fix does

Dealers will replace the seat belt tensioner assembly with parts that reposition the cable away from the entry path and use a more flexible, upright-angled cable.
