AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW

The defect
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014 Buick Verano and Chevrolet Cruze vehicles. The left and/or right-side roof-rail air bag (RRAB) inflators located on the roof rails above the headliner, may rupture at the inflator weld joint.
What it can cause
An inflator that ruptures may partially inflate the air bag and cause sharp metal fragments to enter or exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of an injury.
What the dealer does
Dealers will replace the left and/or right-side RRAB modules, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 5, 2025. 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 N252530830. This recall is an expansion of previous NHTSA recall numbers 23V674 and 23V870.

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 2,099 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 one model year, 2014, so the oldest vehicles on it were 11 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 83 times before this, most recently in June 2025 as 25V432000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 803 complaints with NHTSA, 783 of them before this campaign was filed. 90 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 August 2013, 12 years before this filing.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 23V870000 (air bags), 23V674000 (air bags).

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.
