2011 GMC Sierra 2500

The 2011 GMC Sierra 2500 has 4 recalls, the most serious being a Takata passenger-side airbag inflator that can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.

The airbag defect is covered across multiple recall filings that together address the same underlying hazard: the passenger front airbag inflator can rupture violently, particularly in high-humidity regions, scattering sharp metal shards toward the driver and passengers. If this vehicle was ever registered or sold in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, or U.S. territories, it falls within the scope of these recalls and the risk is considered elevated due to long-term moisture exposure degrading the inflator. The fourth recall is unrelated to the airbag system and concerns a fire extinguisher that may have been included with the truck as optional or dealer-installed equipment. The extinguisher's handle or push-button mechanism can fail to operate correctly, meaning it may not discharge when needed during an actual fire.
