2010 Chevrolet Suburban

The 2010 Chevrolet Suburban has 3 recalls, all centered on the same critical safety issue: the passenger-side front airbag inflator can explode and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, with the potential to cause serious injury or death.

These filings cover the same underlying defect across multiple model years and filing campaigns, but the risk is identical in each case. The passenger-side airbag inflator can rupture with excessive force, turning internal metal components into projectiles that can strike the driver or front passengers. This is a well-known class of inflator failure that has been linked to fatalities and serious injuries in other vehicles. The recalls are geographically scoped, applying specifically to vehicles originally sold or ever registered in high-humidity states and territories including Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where heat and moisture accelerate the conditions that make an inflator more likely to fail. If this Suburban has been registered in any of those locations at any point, it falls within the scope of these recalls.
