Unknown. The passenger airbag I've noticed has not been working correctly. It doesn't come on when ppl are sitting in the seat. But I did a recall check and it's telling me all this. Manufacturer recall number2049151 NHTSA recall number16V381
I purchased this vehicle new and have seen notices regarding problems with the type of air bags it has for years but unable to have the problem addressed. Others I know with the same airbags have had them successfully replaced by the dealer of their vehicles, such as Honda and Nissan, etc. It makes no sense that an american manufacturer keeps obtaining exceptions and waivers to correct this safety issue. I am very concerned as I live in a high heat, high humidity area, Florida, which is said to exacerbate the problem. It imperative the airbags be replaced immediately. Please advise regarding how this can be achieved.
The dash on the passenger side is cracked and could hurt someone if the airbags were to deploy. This is a very common issue with the 2009 Silverado. Also, the lifters are very bad and will stop working if the afm isn't turned off. I thought my engie was dead when going 70 and the lifter go out. Lost all power and had to tow it to a shop. This has happened twice.

I was informed that I have a recall for the takata airbag in my 2009 Silverado 1500 as of May 27, 2016. As of yet GM is saying no remedy but in the meantime I am driving an unsafe truck because I live in Florida in hot humid weather and that is the factor that effects the airbags! this is a one owner vehicle that I purchased as new and I believe $ years is long enough to find a remedy!

Got a safety recall in July of 2016 about the takata air bags.as of this date 03/14/2020 nothing has been done because they don't have the replacement part.
This is a complaint about the cracks on my dash around the air bag. Over the past month they have grown and gotten worse, one is huge (about 7 inches long) and there's two more pieces in the corner about to fall out and one near the radio. I would just like GM to put a new dash in for free so I can cover it with a carpet dash and not have to worry about it. Thanks
