General Motors has recalled several different 2020 model year vehicles in the United States over faulty airbags.
The defect: in affected vehicles, the “diffuser component of the Roof-Rail Air Bag (RRAB) inflator may not have been properly crimped to the inflator and could separate from the inflator during air bag deployment,” according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration filing.
