There has been a recall of this part for over a year now, and they still have not fixed it. This could lead to injury and death, and this is ridiculous that it has not been taken care of yet. They have to have airbags available or they would not be able to make new vehicles and sell them. Someone needs to do something about this before more people are killed. I, for one, cannot afford to go out and buy a new car so that I do not drive the one that I have. I am sure that this is the case for many people, and GM has a responsibility to fix this in a timely manner.

Remedy not available NHTSA 23V334 Date Issued: 2023-05-10 Description General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2014-2017 model year Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles. In these vehicles, the front-driver airbag inflator may contain a supplier manufacturing defect that may result in inflator rupture during deployment. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. Safety Risk Description An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants.

Almost 1 million affected vehicles and a year after they issued the recall there is still no remedy to a airbag that can send metal shrapnel into the driver and occupants

Was issued recall notification from manufacturer in May 2023. All calls to GM (including corporate) indicate that there is still no anticipated date of repair. This is a delay in repair that has catastrophic potential otherwise.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2014 GMC Acadia Denali verdict →
