Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with non-desiccated, passenger frontal Air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (psan) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous takata recalls. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.

Why it matters: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the front passenger or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflators, free of charge. The recall began February 11, 2020.
