AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.
4 safety recall campaigns, 954 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.
A damaged fuel line can create a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
If the front right intermediate drive shaft assembly separates while driving, the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash. If the assembly separates while parked on a grade, without the park brake engaged, the vehicle may move unintentionally, increasing the risk of a vehicle roll-away.
If there is a brake fluid leak, braking performance may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2017 GMC ACADIAs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
