1 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 03/29/2021

We received a safety recall notice saying 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, whcih may result in serious injury or death to passengers. When we called the GMC dealer to get this fixed, they said they don't have the parts. This is unacceptable. This is our family vehicle for my husband, myself and our 6 children that we ride in together each day. I'm also pregnant and expecting a baby in August - we should not be forced to drive around in an unsafe vehicle, GMC should be offering an alternative vehicle for use until they have parts available or some option to keep our family safe.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 GMC Yukon xl. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags) for the front passenger inflator; however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and stated that they were currently conducting tests regarding the vehicle. It was determined that the contact's vehicle was not a safety issue, and that the contact would receive a secondary letter around August of 2017. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

4 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 06/03/2013

1. Cracked dashboard - cracked dashboard - dashboard is deteriorating. Numerous cracks. Vehicle is parked in the shade 90% of the time and after 30,000 miles on it. It has never been in any accident. There is a dashboard crack next to the airbag on the dashboard. My concern is with the takata inflators and potential shrapnel produced from the rotting dashboard becoming airborne during an accident. There is a website that shows the majority of these gm dashboards are defective and falling apart beyond cosmetic appearance. What kind of safety testing has been done in relation to cracked dashboards causing injuries? 2. Takata recall - there should be a solution to the takata inflator issue and a recall on gm cracked plastic dashboards. It is past August of 2017 and I have heard nothing regarding the airbag issue solution. (was told by the dealer - oursiman of alexandria, va ) that no soultion is availe for the airbag. I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle. 3. Transmission cooler lines - lines have been leaking for years. Specifically called out in the warranty coverage as not covered???it's a known issue with all Yukon and other vechicles.
