GM Airbag Recall Issued on Nearly 1 Million SUVs

General Motors (GM) recalls nearly 1 million SUVs due to a potential airbag defect. The recall covers the 2014-2017 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia SUVs.

The airbags in these vehicles may deploy unexpectedly, which could cause severe injury or death. GM has noted 16 incidents of airbag deployments in these vehicles—only one report of a severe injury.

GM will notify the vehicle owners and replace the airbag inflators for free. If you are the owner or lessee of one of the above vehicles, GM encourages you to contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

• Includes over 67 million airbags 
• Over 42 million vehicles affected
