The driver's air bag in your Enclave, Traverse, or Acadia is the safety device that deploys to protect you in a frontal collision. Unfortunately, some of these air bags have faulty inflators that could rupture during deployment.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments could fly towards you and the other occupants, causing severe injury or even death.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty air bag module with a safe one, completely free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice and let the dealer handle it.
