The 2007 Pontiac Torrent has two recalls, the more serious being a windshield that may not stay in place during a frontal crash or rollover, and can separate from the vehicle body entirely.
The passenger airbag system also has a concern: a calibration error in the front passenger seat sensor can cause the system to misread a small adult as a child or empty seat, which may prevent the airbag from deploying in a crash and leave that occupant without full protection.
At a glance
What can fail
The front passenger seat sensor may not correctly detect a small adult or small child. This causes the passenger airbag to either not deploy when needed or deploy when it shouldn't.
What the fix does
The dealer will reprogram the seat's electronic control unit to correct the sensor calibration.

What can fail
The windshield, liftgate glass, and side stationary glass may not be properly secured to the vehicle body because the wrong primer was used during installation. This could cause glass to separate during a frontal crash or rollover.
What the fix does
Dealers will replace the windshield, liftgate glass, and side stationary glass with properly secured units.
