GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator with an alternate one, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on February 23, 2021. Second notification letters will be mailed once the remedy is available.

GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2009 BUICK, LUCERNE; CADILLAC DTS; HUMMER H2; MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 BUICK ENCLAVE; CADILLAC CTS; MODEL YEAR 2007-2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE, ESCALADE ESV, ESCALADE EXT; CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, SILVERADO, SUBURBAN, TAHOE; GMC ACADIA, SIERRA, YUKON, YUKON XL; SATURN OUTLOOK; AND MODEL YEAR 2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A HEATED WASHER FLUID SYSTEM (HWFS). A RECALL WAS IMPLEMENTED IN 2008 TO ADD A FUSE TO THE CONTROL CIRCUIT HARNESS TO ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) ELECTRICAL SHORT. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN NEW REPORTS OF THERMAL INCIDENTS ON HWFS MODULES AFTER THIS IMPROVEMENT WAS INSTALLED. THESE INCIDENTS RESULTED FROM A NEW FAILURE MODE ATTRIBUTED TO THE DEVICE'S THERMAL PROTECTION FEATURE. THE SIGNIFICANCE VARIES FROM MINOR DISTORTION TO CONSIDERABLE MELTING OF THE PLASTIC AROUND THE HWFS FLUID CHAMBER.
IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE HEATED WASHER MODULE TO IGNITE AND A FIRE MAY OCCUR.
DEALERS WILL PERMANENTLY DISABLE AND REMOVE THE HEATED WASHER FLUID MODULE. AN UPDATED PAGE FOR THE OWNER MANUAL WILL BE PROVIDED AND INSERTED IN THE OWNER MANUAL TO DOCUMENT THAT THE FEATURE HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY DISABLED AND REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 11, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463 AND HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493 OR AT THE OWNER CENTER AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.

TAKATA RECALL I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2008 TAHOE LT 4WD AND HAVE CONTACTED ASHEVILLE CHEVROLET IN ASHEVILLE, NC ON A COUPLE OF OCCASSIONS REGARDING THIS AIRBAG RECALL, MOST RECENTLY ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE DASH WAS STARTING TO CRACK PARTICULIARLY TWO CRACKS NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE SERVICE MANAGER CAME OUT AND LOOKED AT THE DASH AND ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DASH CRACKING IN TAHOE MODELS AND WAS NOT RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL BUT THAT THERE WAS ALSO NOT A RECALL ON THE DASH CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG. I AM A RETIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER THAT USED TO SUPERVISE A TRAFFIC SAFETY UNIT AND AM A CERTIFIED TRAFFIC CRASH RECONSTRUCTIONIST, THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARDS CRACKING NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA TO DETERMINE IF IT IS IN FACT RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL AND ESCALATE GM TO REPLACE THE DASHES AND /OR TAKATA AIRBAGS IF IT IS.

I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR A GO, I STARTED TO NOTICE SOME CRACKS OK THE TOP DASHBOARD, BY THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, I BIG CRACK BY THE TOP AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE CRACKS ARE GETTING BIGGER, IM AFRAID THIS IS NOT SAFE IN CASE OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL GM SUBMITTED TO NHTSA A PETITION FOR INCONSEQUENTIALITY AND NHTSA GRANTED GM UNTIL AUGUST 2017 TO COMPLETE ITS INVESTIGATION AND SUBMIT ALL DATA SUPPORTING THE PETITION. IT IS NOW BEEN17 MONTHS AND NO NOTICE OF THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE PUBLIC. CERTIFIED SERVICE DEALERS I HAVE CONTACTED KEEP USING THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO TELL ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AT THIS TIME. WHEN IS THE NHTSA GOING TO ISSUE A DECISION SO THAT I CAN GET MY CAR REPAIRED?

Electrical system, Air bags, Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 31, 2019
I DROVE MY VEHICLE IN THE MORNING AND THEN PARKED IT FOR ABOUT 2.5 HOURS. WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED MY CAR WAS EMPTY, EVEN THOUGH I HAD JUST RECENTLY FILLED UP AND HAD ONLY GONE ABOUT 80 MILES ON THE TANK, MY AIRBAG READINESS LIGHT STAYED ON, AND NONE OF MY GAUGES WERE FUNCTIONING. ALSO, THE LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ABOVE MY REVIEW MIRROR DIDN'T ILLUMINATE AT ALL. I DROVE IT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON, BUT NOTHING CHANGED. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A FEW MILES, I PARKED AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AGAIN. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, EVERYTHING BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, BUT WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, I COULD NOT GET IT TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. BESIDES THE OBVIOUS DANGER OF NOT HAVING ANY GAUGES WHILE DRIVING, MY FEAR IS THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY IN AN ACCIDENT.
