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.

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.

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.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 SILVERADO 1500 WHEN MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACKSEAT NOTICED THAT'S SOMETHING SMELL LIKE IT WAS BURNING, SHE TOLD ME AND WITHIN 10 SECONDS I COULD SMELL THE SAME THING AND IT SMELLED LIKE ELECTRICAL WAS BURNING. I COULD SEE SMOKE COMING FROM BEHIND HER HEADREST SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY AND GOT HER OUT OF THE BACK SEAT AND COULD SEE IT WAS COMING FROM EITHER THE SLIDE WINDOW OR THE DEFROSTER SO I JUMPED IN THE FRONT SEAT AND SEEN THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON AND SHUT THAT OFF AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ME SHUTTING THAT OFF IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT WENT OFF IN MY BACK SEAT AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED THE ONLY THING HOLDING IT TOGETHER WAS THE FACTORY WINDOW TINT. THERE IS ALL KIND OF GLASS SHARDS IN THE BACKSEAT FROM WHEN IT SHATTERED. I HAD TO HAVE MY WIFE PICK UP MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE SHE IS TOO YOUNG TO SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. SO I HAVE TO PUT TAPE OVER THE WINDOW TO HOLD IT TOGETHER UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTS ME BACK.

I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE FROM AFTER IT SHOWED WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE SIGNS OF THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) RECALL AFFECTING IT. THE DEALERSHIP APPLIED THE FIX THAT GM HAD AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE VERY NEXT DAY I EXPERIENCED WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM ACTING UP AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 M.P.H. ON THE HIGHWAY BEGINNING THE INTERCHANGE TO ANOTHER HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS. THE LOSS OF STEERING WAS ALMOST AS SOON AS I STARTED THE TURN AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GO OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. THEN FOR THE NEXT 5-7 SECONDS I WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT POWER STEERING. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING TURNED BACK ON AND, BECAUSE OF HOW HARD I WAS TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL, I ALMOST ENDED UP IN THE LANE TO MY RIGHT WHERE ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS. I HAD NO PRIOR ISSUES LIKE THIS UNTIL THE RECALL WAS WORKED AT THE DEALERSHIP. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP THE TRUCK WAS ACTING WEIRD, AND AT A STOP THE TRUCK FELT AS IF IT WAS STRUGGLING TO STAY RUNNING. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED AND AGREED TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THEM TWO DAYS LATER. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS DUE TO BAD BATTERY CABLES AND THAT CAUSED POWER LOSS DURING THE TURN. THEY SPENT HOURS SCANNING THE SYSTEM TO FIND THAT THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED, WHICH THEY CLAIM THEY COULD NOT FIND, BUT THERE WAS A WARNING LIGHT THAT SHOWED ON THE DASH NOTIFYING ME THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS OUT AND TO DRIVE WITH CARE, SO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY DID NOT FIND IT DURING THEIR SCAN. THEY THEN TELL ME THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN, THAT CAME OUT A MONTH AFTER THE EPS RECALL DID, AND IT WILL BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. I CANNOT STOP THINKING THAT THIS ISSUE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE EPS SOFTWARE FIX AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED TO THE RECALL TO REPLACE THE BATTERY CABLES.

THE TRUCK SHAKES AT SPEEDS OF FROM 35 MPH, THEN IT STOPS AND WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 ON THE THRUWAY IT SHAKES AGAIN. THE VIBRATION IS TRANSFERRED THROUGH THE GAS PEDEL AND INTO THE SEATS AND CONSOLE. ALSO WHEN BRAKEING IT SHAKES. ITS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. ALSO THE VOLTAGE METER DROPS AND I LOSE DASH BOARD LIGHTS.THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. I'M TIRED OF LOSEING VALUABLE DAYS OFF TO DRIVE UP TO DENOOYER CHEVY IN ALBANY TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THIS AGAIN. THE TRUCK TRAVELS STRAIGHT AND TRUE BUT SHAKES AT THOSE SPEEDS, SOMETIME IT MAKES A DROWNING SOUND AS IT HAPPENS.ITS IN THE FRONT END PART OF THE SUSPENSION I BELIEVE.

2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 5.3L 4X4 (48,000 MILES). WHILE DRIVING LAST NIGHT I WAS U-TURNING AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHEN THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER, THEN FLASHED "STABILITRAK" ON THE DASH, AND JERKED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HAND. SHOULD THERE HAVE BEEN SOMEONE COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION THERE SURLY WOULD HAVE A MAJOR HEAD ON COLLISION. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AFTER RE-FIRING THE TRUCK AND TRIED SOME LOW SPEED SHARP TURNS AND SURE ENOUGH THE SAME ISSUE. FLICKERING POWER, "STABILITRAK" FLASHING ON DASH, AND STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF MY HAND. WHEN I SAY STEERING JERKED ITS NOT AS IF I JUST LOST POWER STEERING, THE WHEEL WILL ACTUALLY JERK AS IF ITS TRYING TO GET BACK TO CENTER ON ITS OWN. I LEFT THE TRUCK OVER NIGHT AND WENT BACK THIS MORNING TO HAVE SOMEONE FOLLOW ME HOME. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO ISSUED RECALL FOR MY VIN. I'VE FOUND HUNDREDS OF STORIES AND VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET VERY SIMILAR TO MINE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE ARE SOME RECALLS FOR OTHER MODEL YEARS THAT SOUND LIKE THEY ARE AIMED AT THE PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR MY MODEL/YEAR AND EVERYONE I'VE FOUND THAT HAS HAD THE RECALLS FOR STEERING AND VOLTAGE ISSUES SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. ITS TERRIFYING THINKING THAT IM DRIVING A 6,000LBS MASS THAT CAN SHUT OFF AND STEER ITSELF OUT OF NO WHERE. RIDICULOUS THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY GM!

THAT WORKED TWICE THOUGH OUT THE DAY AND ON MY LAST DRIVE WHILE I WAS REVERSING THE STEERING WHEEL WAS PULLED FROM MY HAND AND THE 'STABILITRAK' LIGHT CAME ON! FINALLY WHILE PARKED BEFORE MY TRUCK ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER THE 'STABILITRAK' LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND 'SERVICE TRAILER SYSTEM' I'VE NEVER USED MY TRAILER SYSTEM. MY TRUCK WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER 'CRANK'. I HAD TO TOW MY TRUCK HOME AND I'M JUST HAPPY THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WASN'T PULLED FROM MY HAND WITH MY TWO KIDS WITH ME IN THE ROAD!

THE STABILITRAK NOTIFICATION APPEARS AND THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES ON IT'S OWN TO THE STRAIGHT POSITION. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE BACKING UP MORE THAN ONCE. ALSO, THE STEREO SCREEN HAS BLACKED OUT AND THE VEHICLES POWER CUT OUT ON MY WIFE WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.

THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE REAR PASSENGER TAIL LIGHTS HAS CORRODED. POINT OF CORROSION IS THE "CUP OR SOCKET" THAT THE TAIL LIGHT BULB IS INSERTED INTO. CORROSION FAILURE OCCURRED AT 28 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP OF THE NEW VEHICLE. SOCKET DID NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF CORROSION PREVENTING DIELECTRIC GREASE PRESENT AS I HAVE TYPICALLY SEEN IN TAIL LIGHT CONNECTIONS.UNFORTUNATELY, SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS AT 40,000 MILES IT WAS CONSIDERED OUT OF WARRANTY AND ALL EXPENSE FOR REPAIR OF DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING. DEALERSHIP ALSO RECOMMENDED THE REPLACEMENT OF A SOCKET WITH FIELD SOLDIERING RATHER THAN REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE WIRE HARNESS WHICH SEEMS LIKE A SOLUTION TO CREATE MORE CORROSION ISSUES. CORROSION CAUSED THE LOSS OF TAIL LIGHTS ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO LACK OF WARNING/INDICATION FROM VEHICLES BEHIND.
