Description of the defect

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicles.

What can happen

An SDM in manufacturing mode will not deploy the vehicle's air bags in a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.

Remedy

Dealers returned the vehicles to the GM assembly plant and the sensing diagnostic modules were activated. The vehicles had not been sold from dealer inventory and therefore no owner letters will be mailed. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N222387870.
