The 2007 GMC Sierra 3500 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the front passenger airbag inflator, which can rupture in a crash and send metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury or death.
This airbag concern covers two related situations: the original inflator defect, and a separate population of vehicles where replacement inflators installed during prior repair attempts also carry the same rupture risk, meaning earlier repairs did not fully resolve the issue. On the electrical side, vehicles equipped with an auxiliary battery have a fusible link that can melt and contact nearby wiring and components, raising the risk of fire.
