Affected: 2020 Buick Enclave, 2020 Cadillac XT5, 2020 Cadillac XT6 and 9 more. Filed with NHTSA on July 30, 2020, covering about 769 vehicles.

The problem

The diffuser component of the Roof-Rail Air Bag (RRAB) inflator may not have been properly crimped to the inflator and could separate from the inflator during air bag deployment.
