Air bags, side/window, curtain, inflatorJul 1, 2021
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2016 GMC Sierra 1500, 2500, 3500, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks. The roof-rail air bag (RRAB) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator, or the inflator sidewall may rupture.
A separated inflator end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape, resulting in the end cap or other components being propelled into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
Dealers will replace the left and right side RRAB modules, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed on August 18, 2021. Owners will receive a second notice when the remedy is available. Phase I owner notification letters were mailed on May 5, 2022. Phase II owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on May 31, 2022. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2015-2016 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2014-2015 GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles that may have received an incorrect replacement tensioner cable assembly as part of a previous recall remedy or a subsequent repair. The flexible steel cable connecting the driver's seat belt to the outboard side of the seat may be repeatedly bent over the seat side shield as the driver enters and exits the vehicle causing the cable to fatigue and separate.
A broken pretensioner cable reduces the effectiveness of the driver's seat belt, increasing the risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver seat belt lap pretensioner, free of charge. The recall began on May 5, 2021. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212330040.

Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, wheel speed sensor/tone ringOct 24, 2019
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.
Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192261050.

While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017.

OFTEN, WHEN MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS THE ENTIRE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS OFF. THERE IS NO POWER STEERING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT'S DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO TRY TO COAST TO A SAFE SPOT TO TRY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. GENERALLY, IT STARTS BACK UP AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. IN THE THREE YEARS THAT WE'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE, IT HAS BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT CHEVY DEALERSHIPS MORE THAN ONCE AND BOTH DEALERSHIPS SAY THERE'S NO PROBLEM. IT'S FRUSTRATING THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE YET THERE'S NO ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM AND NO RECALL.

OUR 2015 SILVERADO 1500 HAS STUTTERING/ HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING, WHEN TURNING ON TO A STREET YOU CAN NOT GET UP TO SPEED QUICK ENOUGH IT ACTS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING HOLD IT BACK. WE HAVE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUG AND WIRE AND ALL THE COIL PACKS. THE VOLTAGE METER ON THE TRUCK KEEP FLUCTUATING SO WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AND THAT DID NOTHING AND KEPT FLUCTUATING SO WE GOT ANOTHER ALTERNATOR AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER.. SO 5 ALTERNATORS LATER AND STILL NO FIX. BUT THE HARD SHIFTING IS THE MAIN CONCERN. BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING TRYING TO GET INTO ANOTHER LANE THE TRUCK WITH JUST START HESITATING AND JERKING UNTIL IT LAUNCHES INTO GEAR. 1ST GEAR GOING INTO 2ND GEAR THE TRUCK WILL SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD AND 2ND GOING INTO 3RD FEELS LIKE YOU ARE GALLOPING UNTIL IT FINALLY ENGAGES. THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED WITH ALL UPDATES BY AND ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC. ALSO DID A TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH AND CHANGED. NO SERVICE LIGHT.

SEVERAL MOMENTS LATER I HEARD A HISSING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR INTERIOR OF THE PICKUP CAB AND THEN LOOKED INTO THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, AT WHICH TIME I SAW SMOKE EMITTING FORM THE LOWER CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE FIXED WINDOW PANE (THIS IS 3 PIECE REAR WINDOW WHERE THE MIDDLE PAN OPENS VIA ELECTRICAL SWITCH). THE HISSING CONTINUED WITH THE SMOKE THAT WAS COMING FROM THE LOWER CORNER OF THE WINDOW NEAREST TO THE CENTRAL WINDOW PANEL. I IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED THE ODOR OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE (BURNING INSULATION) AND THEN TURNED OFF THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER SWITCH. THE HISSING SOUND AND SMOKE CEASED. A FEW SECONDS LATER 8 HEARD A LOUD 'POP' SOUND COME FROM THE BACK WINDOW AND OBSERVED THAT THE ENTIRE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAD SHATTERED, IN PLACE WITH THE FRACTURE LINE EMANATING OUTWARD FROM HE AREA WHERE THE SMOKE WAS FIRST OBSERVED.
