General Motors is recalling 1,120 model year 2024–2026 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV vehicles due to a software error in the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM). This error can cause the passenger airbag to deploy with a high-force "second stage" inflation even when only a lower-force "first stage" is needed. GMC dealers will update the software for free to ensure the airbag system functions correctly.
The software fault may cause an overly forceful airbag deployment during a crash, which fails to meet federal safety standards and increases the risk of occupant injury.
