Known issues on the 2016 Volt. One recall applies to this model year: in a high-speed crash the driver's frontal air bag may not inflate correctly during its second stage, so the occupant gets less protection than the restraint system is designed to give. Owner complaints number 169 and divide almost evenly between the electrical system at 53 and the power train at 51, with 19 on the fuel and propulsion system, all of them systems this manual covers with wiring diagrams, measured values and diagnostic procedures.
