NHTSA recall 21V702000
Air Bags · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: General motors, LLC. (gm) is recalling certain 2022 GMC Acadia vehicles. The sensing diagnostic module (sdm) may have been left in "manufacturing mode" and not activated at the assembly plant prior to shipment. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "occupant crash protection."
Why it matters: The air bags will not deploy with an unactivated sdm, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
The fix: The vehicles will be returned to the assembly plant for sdm activation. Both affected vehicles are still in dealer inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed.
