Check if your Vehicle has a Recall
Condition
TK Holdings Inc. (“Takata”) has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in the passenger-side frontal airbag inflators installed as original equipment in certain 2007-2014 model year Cadillac Escalade, and Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles; certain 2009-2010 and 2012-2013 model year Cadillac Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT and Chevrolet Avalanche vehicles; certain 2008-2013 model year Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicles; certain 2009-2010 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500, GMC Sierra 1500, GMC Sierra 2500/3500, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles; and certain 2008-2010 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Suburban vehicles. The determination was made that the propellant in these inflators may degrade after long-term exposure to high humidity and temperature cycling, which could cause the inflator to rupture during a deployment. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants.
Correction
Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator.

GMT900 Front Passenger Airbag Recalls Dealer Frequently Asked Questions:
Q1) Why are there five different recall bulletins? Why not one?
The United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) determined priority groups for all Takata airbag safety recalls. These priority groups are determined by the age of the vehicle in combination with the heat and humidity levels where the vehicles have resided throughout their life. The older the vehicle and the hotter and more humid the climate, the higher the priority group (Priority Group 6 is the highest priority group, Priority Group 10 is the lowest priority group). Having separate recall bulletins allows GM to better manage the sending of owner letters allowing us to better manage the customer flow into the dealers and provide the parts necessary to make the repair.
Q2) Why are the Priority Groups numbered 6 through 10? What happened to 1 through 5?
Priority groups 1 through 5 are associated with prior Takata airbag safety recalls that have already been launched on vehicles like the Pontiac Vibe and 2007-08 Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500.
Q3) When are the owner letters being sent?
GM began sending Advisory Letters (e.g. informing owners the repair is not available currently) February 22, 2021 to the owners in Priority Groups 6 through 10. GM began sending Parts Letters (e.g. informing owners’ parts are available and to contact their dealer) to the owners in Priority Group 6 for light duty pickup and sport utility vehicles March 1, 2021. GM began sending Parts Letters to the owners in Priority Group 6 for heavy duty pickup owners beginning June 1, 2021.
GM sent Parts Letters to all owners in Priority Group 7 beginning July 1, 2021.
GM began sending Parts Letters to all owners in Priority Group 8 beginning September 20, 2021, with Priority Group 9 following on October 1, 2021. GM will begin sending Parts Letters to all owners in Priority Group 10 starting on January 14, 2022.
Q4) Why am I not able to run these new recalls through the Maxis Dealer Field Action Report System in Global Connect for Priority Groups 7 to 10?
All VINs involved in Priority Groups 6-10 are now in “Open” status and will now be visible in the Maxis Dealer Field Action Report System.
Q5) Can we repair vehicles when the IVH status is “Incomplete-Limited or No Parts” for Priority Group 10?
All VINs involved in Priority Groups 6-10 are now in “Open” status and may be repaired to close the recall.
Q6) What if my dealer is not located in a hot and humid area and my customers have received Advisory Letters for Priority Groups 10? Can I still perform the recall repairs and close the recall for my customers?
All VINs involved in Priority Groups 6-10 are now in “Open” status and may be repaired to close the recall.
Q7) Why are the old recall bulletins gone (e.g. 49151, 49152, and N202324210)?
As part of GM’s agreement with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), GM agreed to launch five new recall bulletins for Priority Groups 6 through 10.
Q8) What if I have a job card that was opened under one of the old recall bulletins? How do I get paid? How does the recall get closed?
The labor codes in the three old bulletins are still valid even though the VINs have been moved to their new recall population. Submit your warranty claims according to the terms of the old bulletin. GM will ensure that the repaired VIN gets closed in the NEW recall. Please submit all warranty claims promptly.
Q10) Can old part 84255088 be installed in a Priority Group 6-10 heavy duty vehicle now that the new part is available?
The job card date will determine which HD part and labor code to use.
For job cards opened prior to June 1, 2021 for Priority Group 6 and prior to June 28 for Priority Groups 7-10, the old part number 84255088 and old labor code must be used in order to avoid claim rejection. This part number does not require the serial number to be recorded on the job card.
For job cards opened June 1, 2021 or later for Priority Group 6 and June 28, 2021 for Priority Groups 7-10, the new HD part numbers 84594241 (airbag kit) and 84594242 (bracket) and updated labor code must be used in order to avoid claim rejection. Vehicles repaired with the replacement part number 84594241 MUST have the serial number of the replacement part number recorded on the job card.
Q12) Why is XPO Logistics is not returning my phone calls to arrange pickup of my used inflators?
Due to COVID, the XPO Logistics team is working remote and are unable to man their phone line at this time. If you need to schedule an airbag return, please contact XPO Logistics at the following email address:
SCFIELDACTION.14305@XPO.COM. GM will inform dealers via Global Connect when XPO Logistics is back on site and monitoring the phone number included in the return instructions.

Condition
TK Holdings Inc. (“Takata”) has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in the passenger-side frontal airbag inflators installed as original equipment in certain 2007-2014 model year Cadillac Escalade, and Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles; certain 2009-2010 and 2012-2013 model year Cadillac Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT and Chevrolet Avalanche vehicles; certain 2008-2013 model year Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicles; certain 2009-2010 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500, GMC Sierra 1500, GMC Sierra 2500/3500, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles; and certain 2008-2010 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Suburban vehicles. The determination was made that the propellant in these inflators may degrade after long-term exposure to high humidity and temperature cycling, which could cause the inflator to rupture during a deployment. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants.

The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle that is subject to a recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.
Dealer Responsibility – All
All new, used, GM Certified Used, courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, etc. in dealers’ possession and subject to this recall must be held and inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this bulletin before customers take possession of these vehicles. Involved vehicles must be held and not delivered to customers, dealer-traded, released to auction, used for demonstration, or any other purpose.
All GM Certified Used vehicles currently in the dealers’ inventory within the Certified Pre-Owned Inventory System (CPOIS) will be de-certified and must be held and remedied per the service procedure in this bulletin. Upon submitting an accepted/paid warranty transaction in the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system, the vehicle can be re-certified for sale within the CPOIS system, or once again be used in the CTP program.
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.
Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the dealer listing, are to be contacted by the dealer. Arrangements are to be made to make the required correction according to the instructions contained in this bulletin. A copy of the customer letter is provided in this bulletin for your use in contacting customers. Recall follow-up cards should not be used for this purpose, since the customer may not as yet have received the notification letter. In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this field action enters your vehicle inventory you must take the steps necessary to ensure the program correction has been made before selling the vehicle. In addition, for vehicles entering your facility for service, you are required to ensure the customer is aware of the open field action and make every reasonable effort to implement the program correction as set forth in this bulletin prior to releasing the vehicle.
Dealer Reports
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing has been prepared and will be available through GM GlobalConnect Maxis Field Action Reports or sent directly to export dealers.

Properly trained technicians have the tools, equipment, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
October 2021
This notice applies to your vehicle, VIN: _____________________________________
Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
TK Holdings (Takata) has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain passenger-side frontal airbag inflators installed as original equipment in certain 2007-2014 model year Cadillac Escalade, and Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles; certain 2009-2010 and 2012-2013 model year Cadillac Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT and Chevrolet Avalanche vehicles; certain 2008-2013 model year Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicles; certain 2009-2010 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500, GMC Sierra 1500, GMC Sierra 2500/3500, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles; and certain 2008-2010 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Suburban vehicles. As a result, GM is conducting a safety recall. We apologize for this inconvenience.
IMPORTANT
• Your vehicle is involved in GM safety recall N212328790.
• Schedule an appointment with your GM dealer.
• This service will be performed for you at no charge.
Why is your vehicle being recalled?
Takata has determined that a defect exists in the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator in your vehicle. The determination was made that the propellant in this inflator may degrade after long-term exposure to high humidity and temperature cycling, which could cause the inflator to explode during a deployment. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in serious injury or death to passengers.
What will we do?
Your GM dealer will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator in your vehicle. This service will be performed for you at no charge. Because of service scheduling requirements, it is likely that your dealer will need your vehicle longer than the actual inspection and service correction time of approximately one hour.
What should you do?
You should contact your GM dealer to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible.
Do you have questions?
If you have questions or concerns that your dealer is unable to resolve, please contact the appropriate Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below. Owners may also visit gmtakataairbag.com.

The reference to this new part number has raised dealer questions regarding the disposition of the prior HD part (p/n 84255088).
THERE WILL NOT BE A SPECIAL RETURN FOR PART #84255088.
This part is dangerous goods and cannot be returned. However, this part can and should continue to be used on Priority Groups 7-10 (bulletins N212328770, N212328780, N212328790, N212328800). These bulletins still reflect the use of the prior inflator part #84255088. The warranty claims will only pay when part #84255088 is used.
In addition, the old part can and should be used on recalls 15438 and 15817, which are for the 2007-08MY HD pickups.
We request that dealers do not order 84255088 for dealer stock. Only order when required.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
February 2021
This notice applies to your vehicle, VIN: __________________________________
Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
TK Holdings (Takata) has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2009 – 2010, and 2013 model year Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, and Escalade EXT; Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500/3500, Suburban, and Tahoe; and GMC Sierra 1500, Sierra 2500/3500, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. As a result, GM is conducting a safety recall. We apologize for this inconvenience.
IMPORTANT
• Your vehicle is involved in GM recall N212328790.
Why is your vehicle being recalled?
Takata has determined that a defect exists in the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator in your vehicle. The determination was made that the propellant in this inflator may degrade after long-term exposure to high humidity and temperature cycling, which could cause the inflator to explode during a deployment. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in serious injury or death to passengers.
What will we do?
Parts to repair your vehicle are not currently available, but when parts are available, your GM dealer will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator in your vehicle. This service will be performed for you at no charge. We are working as quickly as possible to correct this condition.
When parts are available, we will send you another letter asking you to take your vehicle to your GM dealer to have your vehicle serviced. You can also check the status of this recall at: https://my.gm.com/recalls.
Do you have questions?
If you have questions or concerns that your dealer is unable to resolve, please contact the appropriate Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below. Owners may also visit gmtakataairbag.com.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
May 2021
The applicable Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on the address label of the envelope.
Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
TK Holdings (Takata) has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain passenger-side frontal airbag inflators installed as original equipment in certain 2007 to 2011 model year Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, and Escalade EXT vehicles; certain Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado 1500, Suburban, and Tahoe vehicles; certain GMC Sierra 1500, Sierra 2500/3500 , Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles; certain 2008 to 2011 model year Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 vehicles. As a result, GM is conducting a safety recall. We apologize for this inconvenience.
IMPORTANT
• Your vehicle is involved in GM recall N212328790.
• Even though your vehicle may have recently received a replacement airbag inflator or airbag assembly, your vehicle still requires service to confirm that the correct replacement part was installed in your vehicle.
• Schedule an appointment with your GM dealer.
• This service will be performed for you at no charge.
Why is your vehicle being recalled?
Takata has determined that a defect exists in the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator in your vehicle. The determination was made that the propellant in this inflator may degrade after long-term exposure to high humidity and temperature cycling, which could cause the inflator to explode during a deployment. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in serious injury or death to passengers.
What will we do?
Your GM dealer will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator in your vehicle. This service will be performed for you at no charge. Because of service scheduling requirements, it is likely that your dealer will need your vehicle longer than the actual inspection and service correction time of approximately one hour.
What should you do?
You should contact your GM dealer to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible.
Do you have questions?

Revisions: N212328770, N212328780, N212328790 and N212328800:
On June 1, 2021, we revised bulletin N212328760 to include a reference to a newly released single stage inflator and bracket for HD pickup trucks. In addition, the bulletin revision included new information about recording the replacement inflator serial number as part of your warranty claim in Global Warranty Management (GWM).
Today, we are revising the remaining bulletins N212328770, N212328780, N212328790 and N212328800 with those same changes (e.g. new HD pickup part number references and serial number documentation in GWM). Please note to enable these changes, ALL LABOR CODES HAVE CHANGED FOR THESE PRIORITY GROUPS.
The new HD part numbers 84594241 (air bag kit) and 84594242 (bracket) must ONLY be submitted with the new labor codes referenced in these bulletin revisions to avoid claim rejection.
Dealers submitting claims with the previous HD inflator kit, part number 84255088, must use the previous HD pickup single stage labor codes as shown below to avoid claim rejection:

The revisions of the bulletins to include these new single stage inflator parts has raised dealer questions regarding the disposition of the prior HD pickup part (p/n 84255088). THERE WILL NOT BE A SPECIAL RETURN FOR PART #84255088. This part is dangerous goods and cannot be returned. However, this part can and should continue to be used on recalls 15438 and 15817, which are for the 2007-08MY HD pickups. We request that dealers do not order 84255088 for dealer stock.

1 Associated Investigation
Air Bag Inflator Rupture
NHTSA ID: EA15001
Dated opened: February 24, 2015
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE14-016 in June 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers. All six vehicles were operated in Florida or Puerto Rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by Takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.
During the course of PE14-016, ODI determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by Takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers. Nonetheless, at ODI’s insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation. The regions recalled initially included Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures. As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to Takata for testing.
Takata’s initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from Florida. Accordingly ODI requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the Gulf States and other coastal areas. Takata’s testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions. During PE14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.
Also during PE14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically California and North Carolina. Accordingly, ODI requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject Takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls. Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or Takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity. Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing. All test ruptures reported by Takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.
The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time. ODI’s investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.
The five ODI reports cited above can be reviewed online at https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492
