General Motors will recall 6 million pickup trucks and SUVs.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that the automaker had potentially faulty airbags. The vehicles included some Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra and GMC Yukon vehicles built over an eight-year period.
GM has 30 days to give NHTSA a plan for informing vehicle owners to begin the recall. The recall will lead to an estimated cost of $1.2 billion to GM.
"NHTSA concluded that the GM inflators in question are at risk of the same type of explosion after long-term exposure to high heat and humidity as other recalled Takata inflators,” the agency said.
