Recalls- Passenger air bag inflator (N212328800). Affects 1,778,128 vehicles including certain 2010-2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 models. The inflators contain phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant that can degrade after long-term exposure to humidity and temperature cycling.

- Fire extinguisher equipment (Recall 18146). Involves 6,154 vehicles including some 2009-2014 Silverado HD models. Certain plastic-handle or push button fire extinguishers may clog or require excessive force to discharge, or the nozzle may detach causing injury and preventing use. Owners will receive instructions to obtain a free replacement extinguisher from Kidde. The recall began June 2018.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved recall repairs concerning these critical safety issues may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting a legal professional for potential remedies is recommended if safety defects remain unaddressed.
