2011 GMC SIERRA 3500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2011 GMC Sierra 3500 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a passenger-side airbag inflator that can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death. This airbag recall applies to vehicles originally sold or registered in certain high-humidity states, where moisture accelerates the degradation of the inflator. On the electrical side, trucks equipped with an auxiliary battery have a fusible link that can melt and contact nearby wiring and components, raising the risk of a fire under the hood. There is also a fuel system concern specific to trucks with dual fuel tanks: a sticking low-fuel sensor in the front tank can cause the rear tank to pump too much fuel forward, overfilling the front tank until it expands and contacts the driveshaft, which can puncture the tank and create a fuel leak.
