Scrapping Procedure

During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will require the disposal of a live and undeployed inflator module. Do not dispose of a live and undeployed inflator module through normal disposal channels until the inflator module has been deployed. The following information covers the proper procedures for the disposing of a live and undeployed inflator module.

Do not deploy the 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.
