A recall notice has issued for 2007-2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 Heavy Duty and 2007-2008 GMC Sierra 2500/3500 Heavy Duty.

The notice relates to the Airbag inflator: As it gets older, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade. If an affected vehicle is involved in a collision triggering the airbag, the metal inflator housing may explode/rupture under too much internal pressure.

The notice further states that this may become a hazard in the event that a defective airbag inflator ruptures, as metal fragments may propel out through the airbag cushion towards the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or fatality.
