Whats the purpose of the steering wheel recall?
This is recall campaign 96-C-27. GM has determined that certain 1995 – 1996 Firebird (as well as 1994 – 1996 Grand Prix and 1995 Trans Sport) vehicles may have been assembled with steering wheel redundant radio control wires pinched between the steering wheel inner foam and the air bag inflator module backing plate. The insulation on the wires may wear away over time, allowing for a short to ground and possibly resulting in the radio controls becoming inoperative and a noise being emitted from the steering column. There is also a remote possibility that the air bag could inadvertently deploy.
