What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2010-2014 Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles equipped with passenger-side frontal air bag inflators that may explode due to propellant degradation from exposure to high humidity, high temperatures, and temperature cycling. The recalled vehicles vary by model year and geographic region across the United States and territories. An inflator explosion could result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death.

GM will replace the affected front passenger air bag inflator with an alternate one at no charge. Owners were notified through letters mailed starting February 25, 2021, with additional notification letters sent on January 24, 2022. Owners of affected vehicles should contact their respective manufacturer customer service line: Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Cadillac at 1-800-458-8006, or GMC at 1-800-462-8782, and reference recall number N212328800.
