General Motors has announced a recall of nearly one million crossovers with a potentially life-threatening airbag defect. The recall specifically affects 994,763 GM vehicles, spread out between certain Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles produced between the 2014 and 2017 model years.

According to documentation filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the driver's air bag inflator may explode during deployment, which could send sharp metal fragments into the cabin of the vehicle, potentially causing serious injury or death.
