The 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe has 3 recalls, the most serious being a passenger-side airbag inflator that can explode and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury or death.
This airbag inflator defect is covered across filings that together apply to vehicles registered in a wide range of U.S. states and regions, but the danger is the same regardless of where the vehicle was sold: a rupturing inflator can scatter metal shrapnel toward the driver and passengers rather than deploying safely. The third recall covers vehicles equipped with Sure Power-brand battery equalizers or DC-DC converters, where a particular sealing compound inside the device can become electrically conductive over time, allowing the material to melt and ignite, raising the risk of a vehicle fire.
