During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will require the disposal of a live, undeployed, inflator module. Do not dispose of a live, undeployed, inflator module through normal disposal channels until the inflator module has been deployed. The following information covers the proper procedures for disposing of a live, undeployed, inflator module.
Do not deploy an inflator module in the following situations:
- After replacement of an inflator module under warranty. The inflator module may need to be returned undeployed to the manufacturer.
- If the vehicle is the subject of a product liability report (GM-1241) related to the SIR system. When a vehicle is the subject of a product liability report, do not alter the SIR system in any manner.
- If the vehicle is involved in a campaign affecting the inflator modules. Follow the instructions in the Campaign Service Bulletin for proper SIR handling procedures.
