Consumer News: GM recalls 20,000 Buick Veranos and Chevrolet Cruzes

General Motors is recalling 20,712 model year 2014 Buick Veranos and Chevrolet Cruzes, expanding a recall from late 2023.

The left and/or right-side roof-rail airbag (RRAB) inflators may rupture at the inflator weld joint.

A ruptured inflator may partially inflate the airbag and cause sharp metal fragments to enter or exit the vehicle, increasing the risk of an injury.

What to do

Dealers will replace the left and/or right-side RRAB modules -- as necessary -- free of charge.

Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk are expected to be mailed February 5, 2024. A second notice will be sent once remedy parts become available.

Owners may contact Buick customer service at (800) 521-7300 and Chevrolet customer service at (800) 222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N232425640.
