2010 GMC Sierra 2500

The 2010 GMC Sierra 2500 has 4 recalls, the most serious being a defective passenger-side airbag inflator that can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.

This airbag defect is covered by multiple recall filings, all pointing to the same danger: the front passenger airbag inflator can rupture violently in a crash rather than deploying normally, turning the inflator housing into a source of high-speed metal shards. The risk is linked to high-humidity climates, and prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue for all affected vehicles, which is why separate campaigns exist covering different model years of the same underlying problem. If this truck has ever been registered or sold in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, or U.S. territories, it falls within the affected population.

The remaining recall involves an optional fire extinguisher that may have been installed in this truck from the factory. The extinguisher, which uses either a plastic handle or a push-button indicator pin, can fail to discharge properly when needed, leaving the occupants without a functioning suppression tool during a fire.
