"takata recall" takata corporation ('takata') has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2007-2011 Cadillac escalade, escalade esv, escalade ext, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, Yukon XL, and 2009-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 vehicles. This is based upon takata's decision that front passenger airbag inflators it supplied to GM are defective. GM has submitted to NHTSA a petition for inconsequentiality and NHTSA has granted GM until August 2017 to complete its investigation and to submit all data supporting the petition. If the petition is denied, GM will conduct a recall of the airbag inflators covered by takata's defect information report. For more information visit www.regulations.gov and search for docket no. NHTSA-2016-0124. This is there remedy to the problem. The necessity of a remedy is dependent upon NHTSA's decision on GM's petition for inconsequentiality. Additional information will be available following that decision. In the meantime, you can also check the status of this recall at my.GM.com/recalls. GM considers your vehicle safe to drive. Nothing has happen and I don't want anything to happen. Instead of being reactive, I'm trying to be proactive.
