NHTSA campaign 13V315000 · Air Bags · filed Jul 19, 2013 · verified Jul 30, 2026
The defect
General Motors is recalling certain model year 2014 Chevrolet Silverado trucks manufactured June 1, 2013, through June 30, 2013; and model year 2014 GMC Sierra trucks manufactured June 4, 2013, through June 30, 2013. Welding on the passenger airbag inflator may fracture when the airbag is deployed, allowing some gas from the air bag inflator to vent behind the instrument panel, instead of into the air bag.
The risk
As a result the air bag may not fully inflate, increasing the risk of injury.
