General Motors, LLC: 2014 Buick Verano and Chevrolet Cruze Recalled for Air Bag Inflator Rupture

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

General Motors is recalling 9,264 vehicles, specifically certain 2014 Buick Verano and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze models. The roof-rail air bag inflators, which are located above the headliner on either side of the roof, have a defect in the weld joint that may cause them to rupture. If a rupture occurs during deployment, the air bag may only partially inflate and could propel sharp metal fragments into the cabin. Owners can take their vehicles to a Buick or Chevrolet dealer to have the left and/or right-side roof-rail air bag modules replaced free of charge.

Risk

A ruptured inflator can send sharp metal fragments toward vehicle occupants at high speeds, which significantly increases the risk of serious injury or death. Additionally, the air bag may not inflate fully, failing to provide the intended protection during a crash.

  1. Check your vehicle's make, model, and year to see if you own a 2014 Buick Verano or a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze.
