Airbag recall for 350,000 older Chevrolet of various model series

Aveo Chevrolet Cruze KBA Recalls Orlando Trax

16/09/2024

Chevrolet is recalling 348,102 Aveo, Cruze, Orlando, and Trax vehicles manufactured between 2008 and 2017 to authorised workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is a fault in the gas generator of the driver’s airbag that can lead to uncontrolled deployment and the release of metal fragments that can injure the occupants when the airbag is deployed.

In an authorised workshop, the driver’s airbag must be replaced.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “13971R“. The internal manufacturer code is “N222358800“.
