Details

What's wrong: General motors, LLC. (gm) is recalling certain 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicles. The front driver's side air bag module may be missing one or more metal tabs that secure the plastic air bag cover to the housing.

Why it matters: The missing tabs may prevent the air bag from deploying properly, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag, and replace it if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 16, 2021.
