- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2018-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, 3500, and GMC Sierra 2500, 3500 Crew Cab trucks. The left or right-side roof-rail air bag (RRAB) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator or the inflator sidewall may rupture.
- What it can cause
- A separated inflator end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape, resulting in the end cap or other components being propelled into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the left and right side RRAB modules, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 8, 2024. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, and GMC Customer Service at 888-988-7267. GM's number for this recall is N242474500.
- 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 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 2,061 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 66% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 81 times before this, most recently in October 2024 as 24V738000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 10 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,072 complaints with NHTSA, 748 of them before this campaign was filed. 34 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 2018, 6 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V325000 (air bags), 26V166000 (air bags), 25V432000 (air bags), 23V047000 (fuel system, diesel).
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 October 10, 2024 as campaign 24V756000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
