CarRecallWatch- Component
- AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE
- Problem
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicles. The sensing diagnostic module (SDM) was left in manufacturing mode and not activated at the assembly plant prior to shipment. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
- Risk
- An SDM in manufacturing mode will not deploy the vehicle's air bags in a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
- Remedy
- Dealers returned the vehicles to the GM assembly plant and the sensing diagnostic modules were activated. The vehicles had not been sold from dealer inventory and therefore no owner letters will be mailed. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N222387870.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain 2022 vehicles were shipped from the assembly plant with the sensing diagnostic module, which controls the air bags, still in manufacturing mode and not activated. Because of this, the air bags may not deploy in a crash, which raises the risk of injury to occupants.
The affected vehicles were returned to the factory, where the sensing diagnostic modules were activated. No owner letters are being mailed because the vehicles had not been sold from dealer inventory. If you have questions, you can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls at a dealer or through the official NHTSA recall lookup.
