Details

What's wrong: General motors, LLC. (gm) is recalling certain 2020 Buick Enclave, Cadillac XT5 and XT6, Chevrolet Blazer, Silverado 1500, 2500 and 3500 and Traverse and GMC Acadia and Sierra 1500, 2500 and 3500 vehicles. The diffuser component of the roof-rail air bag (rrab) inflator may not have been properly crimped to the inflator and could separate from the inflator during air bag deployment.

Why it matters: If the diffuser separates from the inflator during deployment, rrab performance may be degraded, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will replace the suspect rrab modules, free of charge. The recall began September 3, 2020.
