Just got it in the mail. Passenger side airbag recall notice. Vehicle is a 2014 Yukon XL with roughly 78,000 miles on it. Very good condition.

I have a couple of questions.

Do they have to pull the dash to do this repair? Just how intrusive is this job? I don't want to get it back with rattles.

If I do decide to get this work done, should I pull the AFM Range Disabler before dropping it off?

Is this something I really need to be concerned about?

I believe the recall is political as I could not find a single instance of a GMT900 airbag failure when I looked. Of course, I didn't want to chance it and have my bride or children hurt by a safety device should we get into an accident. I was apprehensive because my dash has yet to crack! Technician was a pro and didn't crack the dash, he received a nice tip for his efforts.

Just note, if the dash cracks doing the recall, GM and the dealership is not liable.

My dash was cracked in 3 places before the Recall but waited until after the airbag was replace before replacing with a new dash board.

I replaced mine before. What they do isn’t going to crack a dash unless it’s brittle in which case it’s going to crack on its own.

Recalls are only for safety related issues unfortunately.
