18 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2026. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
GM is recalling certain GMC Acadia vehicles because the driver or front passenger seat may not have enough welds at a connection in the seat frame. The affected connection is where the seat back's reclining mechanism attaches to a bracket on the frame. A seat with too few welds may not hold an occupant as intended during a crash. Dealers will replace the affected seat back frames for free.
General Motors is recalling a wide range of Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC and Buick vehicles, including the Escalade IQ and IQL, OPTIQ, Colorado, Equinox EV, Silverado 3500, Canyon and Sierra 3500. During production, the radio may not have been set to the correct status to download the electronic owner's manual, so the manual is not there for the owner to use. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard covering occupant protection.
This recall affects certain GMC Acadia and Cadillac XT5 and XT6 vehicles. Some windshields may have been installed without the correct sealant needed to bond the glass to the vehicle's body. Without that seal, the windshield may not be properly attached, and it could come loose from the vehicle.
Certain Cadillac XT5, XT6, Chevrolet Blazer, Traverse and GMC Acadia SUVs may have been built with an incorrect transmission part called a sun gear. This can cause the half-shaft on the driver's side to come loose from the transmission.
On affected vehicles, the right-front half-shaft — part of what sends power from the engine to the wheel — may not be properly connected to the transmission. This can cause the half-shaft to separate. If that happens, the vehicle can lose the power that drives it forward, or the vehicle could roll away on its own after being put in park.
On vehicles with the optional Surround Vision feature, the coaxial cable connectors for the rearview camera may have been crimped incorrectly. This can cause the rearview camera to stop working or work only some of the time.
General Motors is recalling certain 2023 Cadillac XT5 and XT6 and GMC Acadia vehicles. The certification label on the driver's side B-pillar, the post between the front and rear doors, may have tire size information on it that cannot be read. Because of that, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule that covers how tires and rims are chosen for a vehicle. Dealers will put on a new certification label.
General Motors is recalling certain Cadillac XT5, XT6, and GMC Acadia All-Wheel Drive vehicles. A valve inside the fuel tank, meant to seal the tank shut if the vehicle rolls over, may not seal properly. If that valve fails to seal during a rollover crash, fuel can leak out of the tank. A fuel leak like this raises the chance of a fire starting after the crash.
On some of these vehicles, a part called the toe link connects to the left-rear suspension and helps keep the rear wheel aligned. That toe link may not have been tightened properly when the vehicle was built. If it stays loose, the toe link could become loose or come apart from the suspension instead of staying securely attached the way it should be.
On some Acadia vehicles, a module that helps control the air bags, called the sensing diagnostic module, may have been left in a factory 'manufacturing mode' and never switched on before the vehicle left the assembly plant. Because this module was not activated, it may not be able to function the way it is supposed to when it is needed.
On these vehicles, the fuel supply lines may not have been properly attached, and they may not be fully seated where they connect. Because the lines are not secured the way they should be, they can gradually work themselves loose or come apart entirely. When a fuel line separates like this, gasoline is able to leak out of the fuel system. A leak of this kind raises the chance that a fire could start.
The tires on these vehicles were left in the curing process for too long during manufacturing. Tires that are cured too long can develop a break in the sidewall, which can cause sudden air loss, or the tire's belt edge can separate, causing the tread or belt to come apart. Either problem can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
This recall covers certain Buick Enclave, Cadillac XT5, GMC Acadia, and Chevrolet Traverse vehicles, along with certain Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. These vehicles may have been built with Continental tires that were overcured during manufacturing.
On certain GM vehicles, the endcap on the start/stop transmission accumulator may be missing bolts. This can let transmission fluid leak out. Over time, the leak can get bad enough that the vehicle loses the ability to move forward. If the leaking fluid comes into contact with something that can ignite it, it could catch fire.
In some of these vehicles, a leftover piece of plastic from manufacturing may be stuck in the fuel pump's nozzle. This can block the nozzle and keep enough fuel from reaching the engine. When that happens, the engine may not get the fuel it needs to keep running. GM will have dealers replace the fuel pump module to fix the problem, at no cost to owners.
On affected vehicles, a part called the diffuser, inside the roof-rail air bag inflator, may not have been properly attached to the inflator. This means the diffuser could come apart from the inflator when the air bag deploys.
General Motors is recalling a range of vehicles, including the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac ATS, Chevrolet Colorado, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Acadia, GMC Canyon and GMC Terrain. The high pressure fuel pump, part of the fuel system, may come loose from its mounting flange while the vehicle is being driven. If the pump detaches, it could damage the nearby high pressure fuel line.
General Motors is recalling certain Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, and GMC Acadia vehicles because the right front intermediate driveshaft may fracture and separate while the vehicle is being driven. If this shaft breaks apart while driving, the vehicle will lose the power needed to move forward. The notice also explains that if the shaft separates while the vehicle is parked on a slope without the parking brake engaged, the vehicle could roll away on its own.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

NHTSA lists 18 safety recalls covering the 2018–2026 GMC Acadia. 16 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "GMC Acadia Front Seats May Have Insufficient Welds" (NHTSA campaign 26V696000), reported Oct 21, 2026.
The 2020 GMC Acadia has the most, with 6 recalls. The 2018 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 2. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
No. None of the 18 GMC Acadia recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
