Ok so I received a recall in the mail about the passenger side front air bag? Did any one else get the same and they’re saying they can’t fix it
 
check the thread in this PROBLEM RECALL section for many threads on the TEKATA AIR BAG recall.

Some just reported getting it fixed.
 
Had my 08 Lt air bag fix done about a month ago. Most dealers are caught up & have parts in stock or they will order them and make an appointment. Unfortunately they don’t have a fix for the cracked dash, they will tell you it may crack more with the air bag fix.Also had my 2011 Silverado done.
 
As the third owner, would I receive recall info? If not how to I register to be notified from GM if that's even possible.
 
2002 not in recall.
 
I just got the recall letter in the mail today. My dash has a crack after it was replaced a few years ago. They say it may crack even more with the airbag fix?

I received the same and had mine replaced week later, all dealers should have parts by now had mine done back in mid March
 
Called my local dealership the other day and set up an appt, however they called to cancel it due to parts availability. The said I will get another letter in the mail when the parts are available.
 
To anyone on the fence. This airbag recall is because our Avalanche's use the same Takata airbag on the passenger side as Honda / Subaru / Fords that have killed people on deployment.

The Takata airbag shoots metal shards on deployment like a small explosive device. Please do not put this one off.

Make sure u stay on top of it don’t prolong it, if there is another dealer close by go there any Chevy dealership can do it.

Contact your local dealer if they give you the run around go on NHTSA web site and register your vin #, you can also check on that web site with your vin to see if it is included.

What year is your Avalanche? Only 2007 and newer are included in the recall.

I'm in northern Virginia and have an early 2007. I got the recall letter around mid-March and took my Avalanche in. It took two appointments, one to do an inspection and validation, after which they ordered the parts. It then took over two weeks for the parts to come in. I only found out the parts were in by calling the parts department. I was able to then schedule the second appointment to have the parts installed.

If you received an airbag recall letter any time after mid-March, parts should be available. The first letter I received was back in July 2016. The second letter came in March 2021. If your dealership is telling you that parts aren't available, you should call 1-800-630-2438 (Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center)
