December 30, 2014 · General Motors, LLC · Campaign 14V-827

In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position.

If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury.

The fix: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on February 12, 2015.
