The Vibe was engineered and designed by Toyota and built by New United Motor Manufacturing (NUMMI), a joint venture between Toyota and General Motors. Toyota reports that the airbag control module for the supplemental restraint system (SRS) in the subject vehicles could have been manufactured with application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that are susceptible to internal shorting. When exposed to high inductive electrical noise from various vehicle electrical components, these ASICs could experience an internal short that creates abnormal current flow and increased heat. If this occurs, there is a possibility that the ASIC could become damaged. In some instances, the front airbag(s) and/or seat belt pretensioners could inadvertently deploy. An airbag that deploys inadvertently can, under some circumstances, cause injury and increase the possibility of a crash. We will communicate with affected Pontiac Vibe customers when Toyota informs us of its plan to remedy the vehicles included in this recall so that customers can bring their vehicles to a GM dealership for repair. There are approximately 136,000 U.S. vehicles involved. Dealers will be advised when the recall bulletin and customer notification letter are scheduled for release. The Investigate Vehicle History screen in the Global Warranty Management system will not be updated until the recall bulletin is released. A Q&A document is attached to this message to assist you with any inquiries you may encounter. Please do not call GM Technical Assistance.
