Defect summary | General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2016 chevrolet silverado and gmc sierra pick up trucks manufactured october 13, 2015, to october 14, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the mounting stud used to secure the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (sdm) may be incorrectly positioned, and as a result, the sdm housing could fracture. |
Consequence summary | If the sdm housing fractures, water may get into sdm causing it to malfunction and hinder the proper deployment of the air bags in the event of a crash, thereby increasing the risk of occupant injury. |
