## What is wrong

General Motors, LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra 2500, and Sierra 3500 Crew Cab vehicles.  The left or right\-side roof rail air bag \(RRAB\) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator or the inflator sidewall may rupture.


## What can happen

A detached end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape and project the end cap or fragments of the inflator into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the left and right\-side RRAB modules, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 16, 2026. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1\-888\-988\-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020. GM's number for this recall is N262549710.
