Chevrolet Traverse roof rail air bag harness connector defect

General Motors is recalling certain 2020-2022 Chevrolet Traverse and 2021-2022 Buick Enclave vehicles because the harness connector to the roof rail air bags may have incompatible electrical terminals that could prevent air bag deployment in a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This recall involves a structural vehicle defect in a critical safety system (roof rail air bags) that could prevent proper deployment in a crash. Although no injuries have been reported, the potential for serious harm from air bag non-deployment is significant.
