Takata airbag recall on other Traverse years

Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2018, 2019, 2020, 2024, 2025, 2026.

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

What owners wrote

“The recall happened in May 2023 and there is no remedy at this moment, February 2024. Have called dealership and have not been offered a solution. I feel unsafe driving my vehicle with my family. We are at risk. I called the auto manufacture today, 2/27/2024 and they do not have such date on a remedy.”

“The safety recall for the air bags have not been repaired yet. Last time I called the dealership they had no clue when the repair parts would be available. I was notified back in 2022 about this issue with no communication from Chevy.”

Filed Feb 18, 2024

“I am filing this complaint in regards to recall N232404980. The manufacturer, in my opinion is taking its sweet time in manufacturing replacement part.”

Filed Jan 30, 2024

“would like to know what is being done to remedy this...been a year since the recall has been issued and nothing has been done to fix the cars. im uncomfortable driving the car especially when my children are in it...this is absolutely ridiculous. something needs to be done about this before more lives are lost.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 1 of 114 reports involved a crash and 1 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.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
