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.

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.

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.

MY TRUCK HAD AN AFM COLLAPSED LIFTER FAILURE. IT OCCURRED UNDER A HARD ACCELERATION EVENT TO CHANGE LANES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LIFTER, RETURNING THE VEHICLE TO ME. I GOT DOWN THE ROAD, TESTED IT UNDER HARD ACCELERATION AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN! THIS TIME THERE WAS A LOT OF INTERNAL ENGINE NOISE, REALLY LOUD. I ASKED THE DEALER IF THEY NTESTED IT UNDER A HARD ACCELERATION; THEY DID NOT. THEY REPLACED THE #6 PISTON AND THE VALVES ASSOCIATED WITH THE #6 PISTON. ALL WORK PERFORMED WAS DONE ON #6, EVEN THE INITIAL COLLAPSED LIFTER. I PICKED IT UP AGAIN AND AGAIN A HARD ACCELERATION PRODUCED MISFIRES! I HAD IT TOWED IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD TESTED IT WITH HARD ACCELERATION. THE RESPONSE WAS @ 3300 RPM. I TOLD THE SERVICE WRITER THAT, IF YOU DO NOT TEST IT UNDER HARD ACCELERATION YOU WILL NOT EVEN HAVE IT MISFIRE! HE REDID THE TEST AND VOILA, HE CAN SEE IT NOW! TECHNICAL RESOURCES TOLD THEM TO REPLACE VLOM, OR "VALVE LIFTER OIL MANIFOLD". I GOT IT BACK AND IT DOES WORK, MORE OR LESS. A HARD ACCELERATION WILL PRODUCE UNEVEN ACCELERATION BUT WITHOUT THE PREVIOUS ISSUES. I AM WORKING FOR NOW. I CONDUCTED SOME FURTHER RESEARCH WHICH I AM PROBE TO DO AND FOUND AN ACDELCO YOUTUBE VIDEO: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=MKLY7XMMSOS&FEATURE=YOUTU.BE&FBCLID=IWAR2ZVZPVJ6Z6E3SELJZGVXZERU8PTLLKGPKQTFXMRSNS7OQENCOLHRRGI_I. THIS VIDEO STATES THAT IF YOU HAVE AN AFM LEVENT THAT INVOLVES A COLLAPSED LIFTER YOU MUST REPLACE A PLETHORA OF PARTS. THAT WAS NOT DONE. I HAVE CHANGED MY OIL ON A MORE FREQUENT BASIS THAN GM REQUIRES AND I USE AMSOIL SIGNATURE SERIES10W20, THE BEST YOU CAN BUY! I ALSO USE THEIR EA0 FILTERS WHICH STATE YOU CAN GO UP TO 25K MILES OR 1 YEAR BETWEEN CHANGES! I TYPICALLY DO 10K MILES AS A HIGH POINT. I HAVE SWICTHED PREFERRED DEALERS TO GET A DIFFERENT TECHNICAL RESPONSE...HELP!

WHEN DRIVING TRUCK ON A BUSY ROAD THE WARNING SIGN OF (SERVICE STABILITRAK) POPS UP ON DASHBOARD AND LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER TURNING ON AND OFF AS THE TRUCK WOULD ALSO SEEM TO TURN OFF AND QUICKLY BACK ON REGAINING ELECTRIC POWER. WHEN REVERSING IT STARTED LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE (SERVICE STABILITRAK) WARNING SIGN WOULD POP UP. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR RECALLS AND THEY SAID PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED AND NOW IT'S THERE FOR THE THIRD TIME AS WE SPEAK. WHEN I PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY I WAS ABLE TO RECORD THE INCIDENT AND VIDEO WAS SENT TO DEALERSHIP MECHANIC. LAST SUNDAY AS I HEADED OUT TO BUY DINNER, MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE. I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKERED TWICE AND THAT WAS IT. WHEN I WAS APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES FROM MY RESIDENCE (SERVICE STABILITRAK) WARNING POPPED ON DASHBOARD AND TRUCK COMPLETELY TURNED OFF LOCKING MY BRAKES LOOSING COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WENT ON ITS OWN INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION GOING DOWNHILL. STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE WAS LOCKED LOOSING ALL ELECTRICAL AND DRIVING CONTROL. IT WOULD NOT TURN, IT WOULD NOT DO ANY CHANGES. MY TRUCK ENDED UP BUMPING INTO A SIDEWALK, I WAS TERRIFIED AS I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE. SHAKING IN FEAR I TRIED TO RESTART MY TRUCK AND IT DID TURN ON. I WENT INSIDE THE SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT, PARKED AND CALLED AAA SO MY VEHICLE COULD BE TOWED TO OUR NEAREST DEALERSHIP. WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR TUESDAY DUE TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS AND THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK AT OUR VEHICLE AGAIN. HOWEVER, I NEVER EXPECTED THAT I WOULD ALMOST LOOSE MY LIFE. IT'S THE THIRD TIME IT'S BEEN SEEN AND I FEAR IT WILL BE THE SAME SCENARIO. I CANNOT PUT MY FAMILY'S LIFE AT RISK. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING SERVICED. I WILL NOT BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNLESS I HAVE BEEN GIVEN PROOF THAT THEY FIXED THE ISSUE. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR PROOF.

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. IT IS ALSO SUCH A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT THE REPLACEMENT OEM CONDENSER IS ON BACKORDER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.
