AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW:CURTAIN
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Chevrolet Traverse and 2021-2022 Buick Enclave vehicles. The harness connector to the left or right side roof rail air bag may have incompatible electrical terminals, which could prevent the air bags from deploying in a crash.
- What it can cause
- Roof rail air bags that do not deploy as intended increase the risk of injury in a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the harness connector to the roof rail air bags, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 29, 2022. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N212352140.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 89 vehicles this is a small campaign: 71% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 71 times before this, most recently in October 2021 as 21V782000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 5 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 442 complaints with NHTSA, 41 of them before this campaign was filed. 11 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2020, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 21V817000 (power train), 21V472000 (air bags), 21V115000 (tires), 20V684000 (tires).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on March 31, 2022 as campaign 22V210000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
