[General Motors](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/general motors) has announced the automaker is recalling certain 2013 Chevrolet Malibu models for a potential sensor failure. Under hard braking, the vehicle’s sensing and diagnostic module may reset itself, and if that occurs just before an abrupt turn, the vehicle could trick itself into sensing a rollover. In that event, the roof rail airbag could deploy outside of a crash situation. What’s more, the seat belt pretensioners could then fail during a severe crash. Needless to say, it could be a dangerous situation.
The recall covers a total of 4,304 units manufactured between October 24, 2011 and March 31, 2012. According to the [National Highway Traffic Safety Administration](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/national highway traffic safety administration), GM will notify owners and reprogram the sensing and diagnostic module free of charge. The campaign is set to get underway on June 1. Check out the full recall notice for yourself.Continue reading Chevy recalls 2013 Malibu Eco over unintended airbag deployment fears
