DETROIT -- General Motors today said it is recalling 4.3 million vehicles for a software problem that can prevent airbags from deploying in a crash.

The defect, which affects all of GM’s current full-size pickups and SUVs, is linked to one death and three injuries. GM said the recall would not have a material effect on its earnings. The repair involves updating software in the sensing and diagnostic module that controls airbag deployment and does not require replacement of any physical parts. The recall covers the following vehicles: 2014-16 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS and Chevrolet Spark EV; 2014-17 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice and Silverado 1500, Buick Encore and GMC Sierra 1500; and the 2015-17 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban and Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL and Sierra HD, and Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV. More than 3.6 million of the vehicles are in the U.S., and there is no link to the industry’s ongoing global recalls for explosive airbags made by Japan’s Takata Corp.  more ...
