Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them.
What this problem usually is
This is the narrower sheet inside airbag problems for complaints about inflator recalls, Takata's above all. Many owners here aren't describing a failure they've seen. They're describing a recall notice, a dealer who doesn't have the part, and the question of whether the car is safe to drive in the meantime.
What got replaced
Few of these reports name the part that was replaced.
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the airbags cover the 2016 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.

“I was informed of the active airbag recall on my vehicle when it was taken in on 1/26/24 to have diagnostic work done on the AC. The GM repair center would not repair the vehicle. Every person and agency I have spoken to has refused to help me because there is currently no remedy available. If there is no remedy, my airbag should simply be replaced.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 103 reports involved a crash and 3 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
