The 2007 Chevrolet Suburban has 2 recalls, both covering the same critical defect: the front passenger airbag inflator can explode and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, which can cause serious injury or death.
These recalls cover vehicles depending on the states where they were originally sold or have ever been registered, as humidity and climate conditions affect how the inflator degrades over time. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why multiple campaigns exist for this defect. If this vehicle has not been repaired, checking the VIN against the open recalls is worth doing promptly.
