General Motors (GM) is recalling nearly 1 million SUVs over a potential airbag defect. The recall affects the 2014-2017 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia SUVs.
GM says that the airbag inflators in these vehicles may rupture during deployment, which could cause metal fragments to injure or kill occupants. The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
GM says that it will notify owners of affected vehicles and will replace the airbag inflators free of charge. Owners can contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 for more information.
This is the latest in a series of airbag recalls that have affected GM vehicles in recent years. In 2014, GM recalled millions of vehicles over a defect in Takata airbags that could cause them to explode. That recall was the largest in U.S. history.
GM has been criticized for its handling of the airbag recalls. The company has been accused of delaying the recalls and of not being transparent with owners about the risks.
GM has said that it is committed to fixing the airbag problems and that it is working as quickly as possible to notify owners of affected vehicles.
The airbag recall is a serious safety issue. If you own an affected vehicle, it is important to contact GM to have the airbag inflators replaced as soon as possible.
