Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2009-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans that weigh 10,000 pounds or less and are equipped with front passenger air bags. The problem involves the passenger instrument panel, which may not adequately absorb impact if an unbelted front passenger's head strikes the panel during a frontal crash below the air bag deployment threshold. This creates an increased risk of injury to unbelted front passengers in such crashes.
To remedy this issue, GM dealers will modify the passenger instrument panel at no charge. Owners were notified by mail starting April 28, 2014, and the recall began May 19, 2014. Chevrolet owners should call 1-800-630-2438 or GMC owners should call 1-866-9463 for service. GM's recall number is 14082.
