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.

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.

The recall began on August 4, 2017.

WHEN MY TRUCK WAS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY IT HAD A RATCHETING CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE RACK AND PINION. THE TRUCK HAD 89000 ON IT AND I CALLED CHEVROLET FILED A COMPLAINT. I WAS DRIVING LAST SUMMER AND I LOST MY STEERING GOING DOWN THE ROAD THEN I GOT IT BACK. THEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE SOFTWARE UPDATE RECALL. THE CHEVROLET GARAGE TOLD ME THAT THE RACK AND PINION IS NOT COVERED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. NOW THE TRUCK HAS 109000 AND THE RACK IS BINDING WORSE. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THEIR IS ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I'M HAVING. THESE RACKS NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

WE WERE DRIVING IN SEVIERVILLE, TN IN VERY BUSY TOURIST TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 25 MPH WITH 2 BABIES IN THE BACK AND PULLING A TRAILER WITH A POLARIS RANGER. WHEN I WENT TO HIT THE BRAKES, THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. I COULDN'T PRESS IT IN UNLESS I USED 2 FEET AND APPLIED HARD PRESSURE. ONCE THE BRAKES WERE PUSHED ALL THE WAY IN, IT USED ENOUGH BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. THE MECHANIC SAID WE NEED A NEW VACUUM PUMP AND BRAKE PADS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF WE WOULD HAVE MADE IT TO THE INTERSTATE.

THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER SUFFERED A CRACK AND LEAKED REFRIGERANT REQUIRING THE ENTIRE CONDENSER TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. GM HAS OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THIS DEFECTIVE PART FOR OTHER MAKES AND MODELS WHICH USE THE EXACT SAME UNIT, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE REFUSED TO OFFER THE SAME COVERAGE TO SILVERADO OWNERS. A LACK OF A/C IN THE GULF COAST REGION RESULTS IN EXTREMELY HIGH INDOOR TEMPERATURES WHICH POSE HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS. ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS REQUIRE DRIVING WITH WINDOWS DOWN WHICH POSE SAFETY HAZARDS DUE TO REDUCED AWARENESS RESULTING FROM SUBSTANTIAL WIND NOISE WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

AT LOW SPEEDS OF 15MPH OR LESS, WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE VEHICLES BRAKE ASSIST STOPS WORKING AND THE ELECTRIC TO THE CAR FLASHES OFF. IF SPEEDS ARE LOW ENOUGH AND YOU APPLY BRAKES WHILE TURNING RIGHT AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUTOFF AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND POOR DESIGN.

MY TRUCK IS SHOWING SIGNS OF THE DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMP. PROBLEM WAS SPARATIC AND NOTICED IT SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK WITH 95,000 MILES ON IT. NOW AT 105,000 MILES IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY SO I RESEARCHED IT. RANDOMLY AT SLOW SPEEDS LIKE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT OR MY DRIVEWAY OR EASING UP AT A STOP LIGHT IN TRAFFIC THE BRAKES LOSE ALL POWER ASSIST. IT FEELS LIKE THE ABS IS KICKING IN AND THE TRUCK JUST KEEPS ROLLING. IT TAKES ABOUT ALL THE FORCE YOU CAN GIVE TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. WILL BE BRINGING THE TRUCK INTO CHEVY THIS WEEKEND. WAS HOPING FOR A RECALL BEFORE I HAD TO DISH OUT THE MONEY SINCE IT DOES SEEM TO BE AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE PREMATURE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WITH NO WARNING UNTIL THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP.

I ALREADY HAD THE LEAK AROUND THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WHICH NOT ONLY FILLED THE LENS UP WITH WATER AND KEPT BLOWING BULBS FOR MY THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FIXED.

WHEN THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WAS LEAKING MY WHOLE REAR FLOORBOARD WOULD BE COMPLETELY SOAKED. THE CONDENSATION ON MY WINDOWS WOULD MAKE IT HARD TO DRIVE AND BE ABLE TO SEE THRU THE WINDSHIELD, THE WATER DRIPPING ON ME WHILE DRIVING WAS A DISTRACTION ALSO AND IF I TURNED ON MY HEATED SEATS I SOMETIMES WOULD FEEL ELECTRICAL SHOCKS IN MY BUTT, AND THE FACT THAT I HAVE MOLD GROWING ON TOP OF MY HEADLINER AND IN MY CARPET MAKES MY TRUCK SMELL AND I'M SURE BREATHING THE MOLD IN ISN'T HEALTH FOR ME OR MY 10 YEAR OLD SON.

(THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PRESS IT DOWN). LUCKILY I DID NOT STRIKE THE VEHICLE CROSSING AND AT THIS POINT I WAS USING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. I FURTHER REALIZED MY TRUCK WAS NO LONGER STOPPING ON DEMAND, BUT MORE OF ROLLING TO A STOP. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP ME BECAUSE THEY WERE BUSY WHICH I THINK IS UNACCEPATABLE I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT OVER A WEEK TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR THIS SERVICE.
