Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra roof airbag may burst apart

NHTSA campaign 25V432000 · Reported 2025-06-26 · General Motors, LLC

high How serious is it? About this label

Serious, because metal pieces could be thrown inside the vehicle and injure occupants; the notice does not tell you to park it, but get this repaired as soon as you can.

What's wrong, in plain English

The roof-rail airbags run along the ceiling above the doors. The metal canister that fills these airbags with gas can come apart: an end cap can detach, or the side of the canister can split open. If that happens, pressurized gas escapes and can throw the end cap or pieces of metal into the cabin toward the people inside. Dealers replace both the left and right roof airbag units at no cost to you.

What you should do

2. Call your Chevrolet dealer at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC at 1-888-988-7267 and schedule the airbag replacement right away.
3. Both roof airbag modules are replaced free of charge.
