The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating nearly 750,000 vehicles from Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac over driver-side airbags that may not inflate in an accident.
Affected vehicles are from the 2020 and 2021 model years and include include the Chevy Silverado, Tahoe, and Suburban, GMC Sierra, Yukon, and Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV
NHTSA is aware of six crashes with “significant frontal collision damage” where airbags did not deploy. The agency also cites eight injuries. It believes “rust particles in the connection terminal interface” may be the problem.
General Motors has yet to recall the vehicles over the issue. It may have to if NHTSA concludes that there is a problem. To find out whether your car has any outstanding recalls, visit our recall center.
