2008 GMC SIERRA 3500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a passenger-side airbag inflator that can explode and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death. Two of the three recalls involve the passenger frontal airbag. The first affects vehicles in certain high-humidity states where the original Takata inflator can rupture; the second involves replacement inflators installed as part of an earlier repair attempt that also carry the same fragmentation risk, meaning prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue for some vehicles. On the electrical side, this recall only affects trucks equipped with an auxiliary battery: a fusible link in that circuit can melt, contact nearby components, and potentially start a fire in the engine bay.
