Airbag inflator recall now includes all GMT900 trucks

[cfmistry]

The dash does not have to be removed to replaced the airbags. In fact you do not even have to touch it.

But as you can imagine most of these trucks are on their 3rd or 4th owners. GM does not aim to please these people. As has been the case with most airbag recalls, I bet this will be forgotten and they will be forever “on backorder”...

WHELP !! here's your answer to cracked dash pads.

GM just released a statement to dealers saying dash's will NOT be replaced with this recall

Don't know why it would in the first place. As stated multiple times, the airbags can be replaced without touching the dash

Thanks for the information about this upcoming callback campaign

I have posted this in our german forum, because it could also affect some of us

how do you find this out?

Well, I keep running my VIN through all those sites, including the NHTSA and it comes up clean every time. Also had the steering wheel air bag out recently and it was not a Takata, it was GM from Canada if memory serves. Should have photographed it but is easy enough to remove and check out.

I reckon that if we want to keep driving these things for thirty years, we'll have to remove the airbags someday and have all the warnings and such "tuned" out.

Yeah ive run mine a couple time and nothing either.

You guys are lucky. My brothers '09 Tahoe hybrid and my 08 Silverado BOTH have the air bag recalls when running the VIN #'s


Might be a factory location thing ?? My Silverado was made in Mexico and my brothers Tahoe made in Texas ??
