An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. This recall has yet to have a remedy. With a recall of this manner I would think that it would be of much more importance to get a remedy in order in a timely manner. However, we are still waiting.

Needs to be fix and NHTSA states that they can not fix
- Cedar Key, FL, USA
I purchased this truck in 2017. Found out about the airbag recall and over the last 3 years I have went to several GMC dealerships to replace the airbags to fix the recall issue and they tell me that they cant fix it without the proper airbags which they dont have. How is it that there is recalls, and even deaths but I have to fear driving this truck hoping my airbag wont deploy? and no one cares to fix the issue. I spent 2 thousand dollars throwing parts into my engine to find out. Two lifters in the engine doesn't like cold weather. When the temp drops below 40 degrees, the check engine light comes on. When the temperature raises above 40 degrees the check engine light goes off. I chased this problem for years. There is some mechanical issue here.

The top section of the dashboard has multiple cracks including areas directly behind the instrument cluster and around the passenger side airbags. The airbag section is the most troubling, as it would appear the broken sections could become airborne at a high rate of velocity in the event of an airbag deployment.
