May injury incident in Brazil

GM documents show in May, the air bag inflator of a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro in Brazil ruptured when it was deployed. The company says an analysis of the inflator is still under way, but initial findings indicate the inflator rupture is related to a manufacturing defect and was not caused by deterioration of the ammonium nitrate.

Spokesman Bill Grotz told the Associated Press one person was injured in the Brazil Camaro incident, but the company has no other reports of the inflator rupturing or injuring anyone else.

“GM is taking this field action out of an abundance of caution and with the safety of our customers as our highest priority,” Grotz said. Grotz told the outlet he could not release details about the manufacturing defect.

Over the last decade, 67 million the company's inflators have been recalled in the U.S. and more than 100 million worldwide, in the biggest auto safety callback in history.
