Seat belts: pretensioner
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
Risk and remedy
Risk: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.

Airbag
2016-09-09 · campaign 2016-439
On certain vehicles, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM), which controls airbag and pretensioner deployment, contains a software defect which may prevent the deployment of frontal airbags and pretensioners in certain circumstances. Failure of frontal airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to deploy in a crash (when warranted) could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will reflash the SDM with new software. In vehicles with any previous deployment events recorded in the SDM, the dealers will replace the existing SDM with a new SDM containing the latest software. Note: This recall affects 2014-2017 model year Sierra LD/Silverado LD models and 2015-2016 model year Sierra HD/Silverado HD model vehicles.
Suspension
2014-06-27 · campaign 2014-253 · 33 vehicles
On certain vehicles, an improper weld on the rear shock absorbers may lead to separation of the shock absorber tube from the shock absorber clevis bracket. If such a separation was to occur, a sudden change of vehicle handling behaviour would result that may startle drivers, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace both rear shock absorbers.
Airbag
2014-06-19 · campaign 2014-240 · 61 vehicles
Certain vehicles equipped with optional sport seats may pose a greater risk of neck injury for small children who are unbelted, out-of-position, and leaning against the side airbag in the event of a crash involving a side airbag deployment. Note: Drivers should not allow a small child to sit in the passenger seat until recall repairs are completed. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger side airbag.
Airbag

On certain vehicles, an internal fault in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module may set a diagnostic trouble code, illuminating the airbag warning lamp and disabling the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners. The occupant sensing passenger airbag light would also not illuminate. This could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the Sensing and Diagnostic Module.
