Known issues on the 2016 Spark. One recall is on the federal record, and it concerns the front passenger air bag: in a crash, a young child sitting improperly and unbelted in that seat can be injured in the neck by the deploying bag. Owner complaints run to 42 and lean heavily one way, with 19 on the service brakes, then 5 on the air bags and 4 on the electrical system. Brake hydraulic and friction service with its specifications sits in this manual alongside the restraint procedures and the wiring diagrams behind both.
