Takata airbag recall on other Acadia 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, 2021.
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
3 recalls on the airbags cover the 2015 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The driver's air bag inflator may explode during deployment, due to a manufacturing defect.

What owners wrote
“I have been trying to get this recall done for 1 year. I have placed 3 calls over this time and they say the part is on back order. This is dangerous as it is a recall on the driver airbag. A year is too long to wait. Please advise on what can be done. Dealership: GMC Thompson Raleigh, NC”

“Was in a car accident in my Acadia. Someone hit me going 55 miles an hour on my front passenger side. My airbag never deployed and my seat belt did not lock causing me to fly around. I didnât see a recall for either of those things”

“Recall - no parts available- âIf airbag is deployed metal fragments could cause serious injury or deathâ I feel uncomfortable every time I seatbelt myself in to drive. Get the parts and fix the recall please!”

“The airbag recall was a month ago and according to two different GMC dealerships, GM has not yet provided the replacement for our vehicle and no ETA. Why issue a very important recall and not have the part on hand to repair a dangerous issue?”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 2 of 89 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.
