Where Do You Draw The Line? NHTSA Probes Airbags On Older Impala Models
U.S. safety regulators are investigating the potential for air bags to fail because of software issues in older Chevrolet Impala sedans made by General Motors Co, after receiving a consumer complaint about an alleged incident in Texas.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday that it has opened a probe into about 320,000 Impalas from model year 2008, but would also look at 2007 and 2009 models.

GM has recalled nearly 15 million vehicles this year, including the Impala, for ignition switch issues that could cause air bags to fail in a crash.

As long as there are sizable numbers of these cars on the road, the NHTSA has every right to demand a safety recall.

You have to remember that there are a fair number of these cars in the hands of Police and other service professionals. The last thing anyone wants is for a Police officer to be involved in a high-speed pursuit and the officer looses control of the vehicle.

as long as a significant number are still registered as shown in the database, they're fair game.
