EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
Exposed wires increase the risk of electrical shock and personal injury if the cord is handled while it is plugged in.
14V372000
AIR BAGS
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's air bag, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike and potentially seriously injure the vehicle occupants. Additionally, if the air bag does not inflate, the driver is at an increased risk of injury.

This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZEs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
