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.

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.

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.

WHILE CITY STREET DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO (APPROXIMATELY 38,500 MILES) ON 5/14/20 AT VARYING SPEEDS IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. UPON SUBSEQUENT DRIVES (BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS), THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AGAIN APPEARED. NO PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT TO AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP ON 5/21/20 TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. CODE BOO81 WAS SCANNED AND WIRING CHECKED. DIELECTRIC GREASE WAS ADDED TO CONNECTOR AND POWER REMOVED TEMPORARILY FROM PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE. TECHNICIAN NOTED THE MODULE "RELEARNED" AND ROAD TEST SHOWED NO FURTHER ISSUE. THE POWER WAS RECONNECTED. WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING ON 5/26/20 AT VARYING SPEEDS IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AGAIN APPEARED. ON SUBSEQUENT DRIVES (BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS), THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD TURN ON THEN OFF. ADDITIONALLY, 5 AUDIBLE WARNING DINGS COULD BE HEARD BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE SEEN.
