NHTSA recall 26V166000
Air Bags · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The left or right-side roof rail air bag (rrab) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator or the inflator sidewall may rupture.
Why it matters: A detached end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape and project the end cap or fragments of the inflator into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will replace the left and right-side rrab modules, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 16, 2026.
