DETROIT -- General Motors is recalling more than 400,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the side air bags can explode without warning and spew parts into the cabin.

The recall covers certain 2015 and 2016 Chevrolet and GMC Sierra 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks.

The company says a manufacturing defect allowed moisture into the inflator while it was being manufactured, causing corrosion. The inflators were made in Mexico by Joyson Safety Systems.

Maybe it should be renamed Claymore Motors.

At times I miss the old American Motors Corporation, dysfunctional as it was.

Great. Now my 2015 Jeep Wrangler and my 2016 Chevy Silverado have airbag recalls.

I have a 2016 gmc 2500 so if I croak I’m instructing my wife to call Alexander Shannarah! Full disclosure...my shooting buddy’s son works for him.
