- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 15V830000
- Manufacturer's number: 15794
- Manufacturer: General Motors LLC

## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pick up trucks manufactured October 13, 2015, to October 14, 2015.  In the affected vehicles, the mounting stud used to secure the air bag sensing and diagnostic Module \(SDM\) may be incorrectly positioned, and as a result, the SDM housing could fracture.


## What can happen

If the SDM housing fractures, water may get into SDM causing it to malfunction and hinder the proper deployment of the air bags in the event of a crash, thereby increasing the risk of occupant injury.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will have the mounting stud repositioned and the SDM replaced, free of charge.  The recall began December 2, 2015.  Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020 or GMC customer service at 1\-800\-462\-8782.  GM's number for this recall is 15794.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
