Default "F" Body Recall

General Motors Company. (GM) is recalling 18,941 Chevy Camaros (model years 2013 and 2014) for violating Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208—Occupant Crash Protection.

Defective seat belts? Air bag malfunction? Brake failure?

Nope.

GM is recalling 18,941 Chevy Camaros because the air bag warning label on the sun visor may peel.

Seriously.

The recall decision was made by the Executive Field Action Decision Committee, following a review by the Field Performance Evaluation Review Committee. So, pursuant to 49 CFR §573.6, the automaker submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) its determination of noncompliance for the requirement that the visor label be “permanently affixed.”

That goes to show you the level of stupidity in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They are making car manufacturers put a warning label on a car about a safety device. That seems like a oxymoron to me.

On my 06 chevy truck, the driver side decal peeled right off the sunvisor, the pass. side won't budge.

Ever notice how many warning labels are on a 4-wheeler?

"Do this, don't do that, can't you read the signs"?

I took most of mine off.

Guess I broke some laws?

I feel safer knowing that my overlords have sent their protection squads to ensure
all my tags and warning labels are securely fastened:

LOL... A few years ago.... I posted that I removed the headrests from my '67 Grand Prix because it made the car look better and the headrest was against my shoulders when I was seated... A safety boy member here tore me a new one giving me a half page lecture...

Government at it's finest!

Current legislature has wasted more time than a teen texting!
