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.

Seat belts, frontApr 8, 2021
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.

If the end cap separates from the inflator, the compressed gas will escape and the end cap can be propelled into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the RRAB modules on the left and/or right side, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters were mailed on December 22, 2020.

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.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Cadillac Escalade, 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, 2015-2018 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon vehicles. The amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time.
As the vacuum level drops, the brake assist decreases, increasing braking effort, extending the distance required to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Electronic Brake Control Module, free of charge. The recall began October 8, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192268490.

If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, the driver may be unable to stop the vehicle by using the brake pedal. Additionally, a loose pedal may also interfere with the accelerator pedal. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will add adhesive to the nut and reinstall the nut with increased tightness, free of charge. The recall began October 3, 2018.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. 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.

Upper right hand corner of display screen can be unresponsive or, more frequently, select items on its own. It will select different radio stations, rearrange apps, and call or put calls on hold. Steering wheel display changes to radio tab on its own. This puts my safety at risk because I have to fight with the radio to keep it on a single station and take my eyes off the road to constantly take phone calls off hold. Problem occurred in presence of dealer mechanic and I have videos of the problem. I have taken this to the dealer and they were unable to solve the problem. No warning lamps to indicate anything wrong or preceded the incident. The problem began in July 2021.

THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE (GM CHANGED THE CONDENSER DESIGN IN LATER YEARS BUT DID NOT ISSUE A TSB). THE COST TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED IS ANYWHERE FROM $880-$1200 DOLLARS DEPENDING ON THE DEALER.

NO MENTION OF LEAKS OR ISSUES BY THE DEALERSHIP DURING REGULAR MAINTENANCE. ON JUNE 20TH 2020 I PAID TO HAVE THE SYSTEM RECHARGED, DIDNT BLOW REALLY COLD BUT GRADUALLY IT GOT WARMER, NOW IT BLOWS HOT AIR. LAST FALL OCT 2019 IT WAS NOT BLOWING COLD AIR, IN FEBRUARY 15 2920 WHILE DRIVING THE AIR SEEMED TO GET WARMER, COULD NOT KEEP THE CAB COOL. AFTER REVIEWING RECALL INFORMATION AND OTHER REVIEWS OF ISSUES I SEE THAT THE $1,100 OR MORE FOR REPLACEMENT OF CERTAIN EQUIPMENT, PLUS THE LONG DELAY BECAUSE GM/CHEVROLET HAS A SHORTAGE OF THE SPECIFIC PARTS (BACK ORDERED). I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FORCE GM/ CHEVROLET TO FIX THIS ISSUE THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT SINCE BEFORE MY TRUCK WAS EVEN BUILT.

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.

THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE FILLS WITH CARBON MONOXIDE. THIS IS KNOWN BECAUSE A 4 GAS MONITOR IN THE VEHICLE READ CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS IN EXCESS OF 400 PPM. THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK AFTER BEING TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS FOUND TO BE A BROKEN BOLT IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE PARTS ONLY ESTIMATE WAS $1,700 WITH APPROXIMATELY 9 LABOR HOURS. ONLINE RESEARCH FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. FAILURE TO CORRECT THE CONDITION MAY LEAD TO DRIVERS FAINTING WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE BRAIN INJURY TO A CHILD OR INFANT. A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST BEFORE REACHING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ALSO RESULTS IN POSSIBLY EXCESSIVE UNTREATED EMISSIONS. THE EXHAUST LEAK MAY OR MAY NOT POSE A FIRE HAZARD.
