- Problem
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2024â2026 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV vehicles. Incorrect sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software may cause a second stage passenger air bag deployment when only a first stage is intended. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, âOccupant Crash Protection."
- Risk
- An air bag that deploys improperly increases the risk of injury in a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will update the SDM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 30, 2026. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N252533510. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on December 11, 2025.
What this recall means for you
Software in the airbag control module may cause the passenger-side frontal airbag to fire its second stage when only the first stage should deploy. The vehicle therefore does not meet federal occupant crash protection requirements, and an airbag that deploys improperly raises the risk of injury in a crash.
The repair is free. Authorized GMC dealers will update the sensing and diagnostic module software at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 30, 2026. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your VIN for open recalls on NHTSA.gov, or contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.
