## What is wrong

General Motors, LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500, GMC Sierra 2500/3500 vehicles, and 2016\-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. The left\-side 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 both RRAB modules, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 9, 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 N262569920.
