Hey Guys
Today I received a letter from gm saying that if you own a 96 sunfire your air bag might be at risk.

LOL got one for both the '97 Z and the '97 SFGT today!

I laughed.

Kevin is right, helps to read these letters before making topics like such and possibly scaring others. Thanks for the scan though, that should aid in explaining it.

a significant amount of water? hmm....my floor behind the driver's seat has been soaked a time or two due to the wonderful experience that is owning a convertible. even though im fixing it, i wonder how possible it is for that to have affected my airbag?

but from reading the letter ^^^ it doesnt sound like this is a recall, so if GM isnt paying for it, im sure as hell not going to do anything about it.

The air bag brain is located under the passenger seat, its a piece of electronics and they really don't like being soaked in water.

Just got the letter today for my 96 Sunfire. Might have came over the weekend since I hadn't checked the mailbox since Thursday. Nothing for my 99 Cavalier though. I think it's just an FYI with all the flooding in the midwest going on.

I own a '98 Sunfire vert and know (from prior mailings I've gotten) that my name and address are in the GM database showing me as the current owner. But I haven't received the letter.

anyone else ever think while their taking a drink, that if the airbag went off you'd be the first person to die of having a drink cup smashed through your face?
