General Motors said Friday is is recalling nearly 1 million sport utility vehicles amid a push by federal regulators to recall 67 million defective air bag inflators that could explode during deployment.
includes a total of 994,763 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia vehicles from the 2014 through 2017 model years with air bag parts produced by ARC Automotive. Affected drivers can have the driver's air-bag module replaced for free, according to the automaker.
At least nine air bag-related incidents that occurred between 2009 and March of this year have resulted in two deaths and multiple severe injuries, NHTSA said in a to ARC released Friday. One driver in Canada and another in Michigan were killed by an exploding inflator in the driver-side air bag, according to the agency.
"Air bag inflators that project metal fragments into vehicle occupants, rather than properly inflating the attached air bag, create an unreasonable risk of death and injury," regulators write, noting that air bags — when working properly — are"designed to save lives."
