2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has 3 recalls, all concerning the same serious defect: the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator can rupture and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, with the potential to cause serious injury or death.

These three filings all address the same underlying airbag inflator issue, so the risk is one problem, not three separate ones. The inflator module inside the passenger-side airbag can explode with excessive force during deployment, breaking apart and scattering metal shards toward anyone seated in the front. This defect is tied to high-humidity environments, and the recalls specifically cover vehicles originally sold or registered in warm, humid states including Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas, as well as Puerto Rico and several other territories. If this truck has ever been titled or registered in any of those locations, it falls within the scope of these campaigns regardless of where it is currently located or driven.
