General Motors (GM) has had several major vehicle recalls in recent years:

  • In 2022, GM recalled over 400,000 pickup trucks, including the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra, for a software error that could cause the airbag to deploy unexpectedly.
  • Also in 2022, GM recalled nearly 740,000 SUVs worldwide, including the Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain, for a problem with the windshield wiper motor that could cause a fire.
  • In 2021, GM recalled over 400,000 pickup trucks again, including the Silverado and Sierra, for an issue with the airbag inflators that could rupture and send shrapnel throughout the cabin.
  • In 2020, GM recalled 6 million vehicles worldwide for a defect with the Takata airbag inflators, which could explode and injure or kill occupants when deployed. This multi-year recall affected models across GM brands.
  • Also in 2020, GM recalled about 1 million vehicles with dangerous battery issues or fire risks, including Chevy Bolts, Chevy Malibu sedans, and Cadillac CT6 luxury sedans.

So in summary, GM continues to deal with major recalls related to critical safety systems like airbags, seatbelts, batteries, and fire risks. It’s important for GM owners to stay on top of recall notices and get all repairs done as soon as possible. The recalls show lingering issues with manufacturing and design standards at the auto giant.
