Scrapping Procedure

During the course of a vehicles useful life, you may need to dispose of a live (undeployed) inflator module. Do not dispose of a live (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 (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 related to the SIR system and is subject to a Preliminary Investigation (GM-1241). 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.
