Reported Feb 26, 2026 · Campaign 26V114000 · Model years: 2025, 2026
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.

These trucks have software in the module that senses a crash and decides how the airbags fire. On the vehicles being recalled, that software may be incorrect, and the front passenger airbag can fire its second, stronger stage in a crash where only the first stage was meant to go off. Because the airbag does not deploy as intended, these trucks do not meet the federal standard for crash protection.
General Motors is recalling certain Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks. On the left or right front seat, the bolt that holds the seat belt buckle to the vehicle may not have been tightened enough at the factory. A seat belt that is not held down tightly may not hold a person in place properly in a crash. Dealers will tighten the bolts on both front seat belt buckles.

General Motors is recalling certain Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks. The lock ring that secures the fuel pump to the fuel tank may not have been fully locked during assembly. This can allow a fuel leak to happen during a crash.
Reported Mar 28, 2024 · Campaign 24V237000 · Model years: 2023
General Motors is recalling certain Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks. The front wheel hub bolts may have been over-tightened and damaged when they were installed. Over time, this damage could cause the bolts to loosen or come apart.
Reported Feb 22, 2024 · Campaign 24V133000 · Model years: 2023
Certain Colorado and Canyon trucks have a front camera system that may mistakenly detect an obstacle that isn't there. This can cause the automatic emergency braking system to engage unexpectedly.
Reported May 26, 2022 · Campaign 22V375000 · Model years: 2022
GM is recalling certain 2022 GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado vehicles that have a manual passenger seat. A hook attachment on the front passenger seat may not have been welded properly, which can allow it to separate from the inboard track of the seat frame. If this weld fails, the seat may not properly hold the passenger in place, and that can increase the chance of injury if the vehicle is in a crash.
General Motors is recalling certain GMC Canyon trucks because the Tire and Loading Information label lists a load carrying capacity that is 51 pounds higher than it should be. Federal rules cover the information on this label, and these trucks do not meet that requirement. GM will mail owners a new B-pillar label free of charge. Owners can put the label on themselves or take it to a dealer to have it installed. Owner letters were mailed August 17, 2021.
Reported Dec 23, 2020 · Campaign 20V811000 · Model years: 2021
Incorrect bolts may have been used at one or more places where the seat belts attach to these vehicles. If the wrong bolt was used at any of these points, the seat belt may not be properly attached to the vehicle. GM dealers will inspect the fastening locations and replace any bolts that are found to be incorrect, so the seat belts are properly secured to the vehicle as they should be.
Reported May 31, 2018 · Campaign 18V358000 · Model years: 2018
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.
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 11 safety recalls covering the 2018–2026 GMC Canyon. 6 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "GM vehicles may be missing the electronic owner's manual" (NHTSA campaign 26V114000), reported Feb 26, 2026.
Which GMC Canyon model year has the most recalls?
The 2023 GMC Canyon has the most, with 3 recalls. The 2018 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
Is there a do-not-drive or park-outside recall on the GMC Canyon?
No. None of the 11 GMC Canyon recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
How do I check whether my GMC Canyon has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall often applies to only some vehicles of a model year, and the VIN lookup shows the ones still unrepaired on your car. Recall repairs are free at any franchised GMC dealer, including for second owners.
