What's wrong
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2024â2026 GMC Canyon AT4X AEV vehicles. Incorrect sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software may cause a second stage passenger air bag deployment when only a first stage is intended. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, âOccupant Crash Protection."
Why it matters
An air bag that deploys improperly increases the risk of injury in a crash.

Dealers will update the SDM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 30, 2026. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.
