The 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe has 4 recalls, the most serious being a defective front passenger airbag inflator that can explode and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
These airbag recalls cover vehicles registered in a wide range of states and climates, and prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue across all affected vehicles. The inflator defect is the same underlying problem across multiple filings, so if your vehicle has not yet been repaired, it remains at risk regardless of which campaign applies. There is also a separate electrical concern: certain vehicles equipped with Sure Power-brand battery equalizers or DC-DC converters contain a sealing compound that can become electrically conductive over time, creating a risk of the material melting and catching fire.
