What is wrong: The vehicles have both the supplemental inflatable restraint (sir) label and an engine start label installed on the same side of the sun visor. This does not comply with fmvss no.208, "occupant crash protection."
Risk: Consequence of non-compliance: operators could fail to notice and heed the warning label.
Remedy: The engine start label will be removed from the stowed side of the sun visor and a new engine start label will be installed on the headliner in the sun visor depression. Owners will receive the new label and can install the label themselves or have a dealer install it.

Air bag light came on in instrument panel indicating failure. The wiring harness on the tilt wheel broke (fatugued). Dealer said that I used the tilt mechanism too much and that it was not intended to be used each entry/exit. I commented that this assembly should have been designed to prevent this type of failure since the air bag operation was impaired by it. Dealer disagreed, refused to contact chevrolet in my behalf and charged me over $240.00 to replace the part. This is a very critical assembly and never should have failed from use in this manner. I have the failed component and can send it to you for examination.
