Contacted GM a number of times regarding recall. Told part would have to be ordered, Years went by and not contacted about the part or when the repair would be made.
Takata Recall. The contact owns a 2007 GMC Yukon. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V050000 (Air Bags). The contact stated that there was a crack on the driver-€™s side dashboard. There was no impact to the dashboard that could have caused the crack.

The side air bags on the passenger and driver side front and back deployed while driving down the road. The driver side airbag hit my 19 year old son in the side of the face hard enough to cause his ears to ring. There was not a reason for the air bags to go off spontaneously. He had to pull to the side of the road blindly because he didn-€™t know if he had been hit by another vehicle. We have filed a complaint with GMC. This could have caused a serious wreck injuring my son or someone else on the road due to the shock and force of the air bags hitting him and the inability to see after they deployed. Yes it is available for inspection.

Nothing has happened yet but there has been an open recall on this item for years and it still says no remedy available. It hinders my ability to sell or trade in my vehicle as there is an open recall.
Hit the curb, the side airbags deployed un inflated. Which made the seat belts lock, warning light and message that can not be removed from dash. We have rolled the bags back up so that vehicle can be used.
