NHTSA Complaint about AIR BAGS:SRS MALFUNCTION WARNING LAMP/LIGHT filed September 2, 2025

NHTSA complaint #2126181 (ODI reference 11684441) concerns a 2021 CHEVROLET TAHOE and was filed on September 2, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 2, 2025. The vehicle had 98,520 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Mississippi based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as air bags:srs malfunction warning lamp/light, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET TAHOE cohort independently describe similar air bags:srs malfunction warning lamp/light failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2021 CHEVROLET TAHOE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
