Outlook, Acadia recalled for faulty airbag sensors

[DetroitNut90]

GM has recalled its all-new crossovers, the GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook, because of potentially faulty airbag sensors. The recall affects all 13,032 of the vehicles on the road. The problem stems from a faulty sensor that controls the front airbags’ deployment. It will also prevent the vehicle from alerting owners of a malfunction.

GM says the problem is a software issue and can be remedied with a service — no parts need to be replaced — at the dealer at no cost to owners. The company discovered the problem during internal testing and no incidents have been reported.

Well, at least the caught it early, but no recall is good.

You really didn't need this GM. These Lambdas are probably the biggest products that showcase what the new design driven GM is all about. Hearing a recall about a newly released, highly praised vehicle is just a big fat NO. I'm also glad they caught it early, but damn that is not what I wanted to hear.

How does this affect the assembly lines and keeping up with demand? I just put in my order for an Acadia last Tuesday and was told 6 weeks to delivery. Is this going to put me out even further?

Not at all. It's a simple fix for already produced units, and the revision was already implemented on vehicles on the line, without causing any delay.
