GM recalls nearly 1 million vehicles over potentially dangerous air bag inflators
CBSN
General Motors said Friday is is recalling nearly 1 million sport utility vehicles amid a push by federal regulators to recall 67 million defective air bag inflators that could explode during deployment.
The GM recall includes a total of 994,763 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia vehicles from the 2014 through 2017 model years with air bag parts produced by ARC Automotive. Affected drivers can have the driver's air-bag module replaced for free, according to the automaker.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is urging the maker of the air bag inflator, Knoxville, Tennessee-based ARC, to recall 67 million devices manufactured before 2018 because they can explode and spray shrapnel around a vehicle.
