A recall was sent out on 2023-05-10 NHTSA 23V334 for Driver Front Airbag Inflator May Rupture. It has almost been a year and a remedy is still not available. 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. Based on the safety risk description this sounds pretty serious, and yet there is no remedy.

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 2016 GMC Acadia Limited verdict →
