26 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025. 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.
Some of these large SUVs left the factory with the wrong bolts installed on the left and right front wheel hubs. Over time those bolts can work loose or bend out of shape, and a bolt can break. Only vehicles built with the 24-inch wheels are affected. If a bolt loosens or breaks while you are driving, you can lose control of the vehicle. A dealer will replace both front wheel hub bolts for free; owner letters went out June 18, 2026.
These four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive trucks and SUVs may be missing a part inside the transfer case, the gearbox that sends power to the front and rear wheels. Because of that, the front wheels, the rear wheels, or both can suddenly lock up with no warning at all. GM says not to drive the vehicle until the repair is done. Locked wheels can easily cause a crash. A dealer will inspect the transfer case and replace it if needed, free.
⚠ NHTSA advises: do not drive this vehicle until repaired.
These 2022 full-size SUVs with the 10-speed automatic transmission have a part inside the transmission, the control valve, that can fail. If it does, the rear wheels can lock up while you are driving, which can make you lose control or be struck from behind. Dealers will install new transmission control software at no cost. GM mailed owner letters on April 7, 2026, and affected vehicle numbers have been searchable since February 12, 2026.
These are vans converted by Rollx for wheelchair use. The straps that hold a wheelchair use retractors, which work like a seat belt: they pull in slack and then lock so the chair cannot roll. On these vans, the QRT-Deluxe and QRT-Max retractors may fail to lock. If they do not lock, the wheelchair and the person in it can shift or slide while the van is moving, which raises the risk of injury. Rollx and the restraint maker will check the retractors and replace them if needed.
Some of these SUVs with the 6-cylinder diesel engine had their original fuel tank replaced with the wrong one at some point. The incorrect tank can let fuel leak out if the vehicle rolls over in a crash. Leaking fuel near anything hot or sparking can start a fire. A dealer will check which tank is on your vehicle and install the correct one if the wrong tank is found, at no cost.
These full-size trucks and SUVs have the 6.2-liter V8 gas engine. Some were built with faulty connecting rods or crankshafts — heavy internal parts that keep the engine turning. Those parts can break, damaging the engine badly enough that it quits. Dealers will inspect your engine and repair or replace it if needed. If it passes inspection, they will switch it to a thicker oil, put on a new oil filter and oil fill cap, and update your owner's manual. All free.
A part inside the automatic transmission, called the control valve, can fail on these diesel-powered pickups and large SUVs. If it breaks, the rear wheels can suddenly lock up while you are driving, which can make the vehicle skid or spin. Your dealer will load new transmission computer software free of charge. That software also checks for a bad control valve, and GM has a special coverage program to pay for repairing transmissions found to have one.
Your truck or SUV has a computer that watches the brake system. Because of a software problem, that computer may not turn on the dashboard warning light when brake fluid gets low. You could keep driving without knowing anything is wrong, and low fluid can make the brakes work less well. The fix is new software, sent to your vehicle over the air or installed by a dealer.
The bolts that hold the rear suspension arms on your SUV were not heat-treated properly at the factory, so they are weaker than they should be. A weak bolt can snap while you are driving. If one breaks, the rear wheel on that side can shift out of alignment, which can make the vehicle hard to control and lead to a crash. Dealers will replace both rear outer control arm bolts with correct ones at no charge.
On these Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles, the daytime running lights can stay lit when you turn the headlights on. They are supposed to switch off at that point. Because they stay bright, they can create glare for other drivers and make it harder for people to see. This does not meet the federal rules for vehicle lamps. A dealer can update the software that controls the lights, or the fix can be sent to the vehicle wirelessly.
On these full-size SUVs, the daytime running lights can stay on even after you turn the headlights on. Those front lights are meant to switch off once the headlights take over. Because they don't, the front of your vehicle can shine brighter than intended and throw glare at other drivers and at you. That extra glare makes it harder to see clearly, which is why it breaks a federal lighting rule. The repair is a free software update that can be sent to the vehicle over the air.
This affects SUVs equipped with third-row seats. The small metal rivet that holds the seat belt buckle to its bracket may have been made wrong on the left or right third-row belt. If the rivet is not formed properly, the buckle may not hold a passenger in place during a crash, so someone in the back row could be hurt. A dealer will inspect both third-row buckles and replace them if needed, free of charge.
The rear driveshaft is the spinning bar that carries power from the transmission back to the rear wheels. Inside some of these driveshafts, parts were not heat-treated correctly, which leaves them weaker than they should be. A weak driveshaft can break while you are driving, and when it does the vehicle suddenly stops pulling and loses drive power, possibly in traffic or at highway speed. Dealers replace the left and/or right rear driveshaft assembly.
A control module that runs the fuel pump can fail or work only part of the time. When it does, fuel stops flowing steadily to the engine and the engine can quit without warning while you are driving. Losing the engine in traffic makes a crash more likely. Dealers will replace the fuel pump control module at no charge. Owner letters went out back in October 2021, so if you bought the vehicle used, the repair may still be waiting.
When these SUVs were serviced, a dealer technician may have set up the brake system with the wrong settings. That can affect several things that depend on the brakes: the system that keeps the vehicle from sliding sideways, the traction control, the anti-lock brakes, and how the vehicle brakes when you are towing a trailer. Overall, the brakes may not perform the way they should. A dealer will recalibrate the brake system control module to set it right.
A software problem in certain 2021 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL SUVs can cause the power steering to stop helping you. It can happen right when you start the vehicle or while you are already driving. The steering still works, but the wheel becomes much harder to turn, especially at low speeds like parking or tight turns. A dealer can update the software, or the fix may arrive over the air.
A software problem in your vehicle's communication module means the airbag warning light on the dash can turn on and off when it shouldn't. Because the light behaves unpredictably, it may fail to tell you when something is genuinely wrong with the airbag system. The notice does not say the airbags themselves are faulty — the problem is with the warning you would get if a fault developed. A free software update fixes it, done at the dealer or sent to the car over the air.
On these three-row SUVs, the outer seat belts in the back row may have been caught or run the wrong way behind the mechanism that folds the seat. Pinched or misrouted like that, the belt can get damaged. A damaged belt can break in a crash, so it may not protect the person sitting there. A dealer will look at both third-row outer belts, reroute them if needed, and replace any that are damaged.
Some Continental tires on these vehicles were heated too long when they were made. A tire like that can crack in the sidewall and lose air all at once, or the tread can start peeling away from the tire. Either one can make the vehicle hard to control while you are driving. The dealer will look at your tires and replace any bad ones for free.
The fuel tank on these vehicles is built from two layers bonded together, and on some trucks the glue between those layers was left out. Without it, the tank can leak gasoline. Leaking fuel near anything hot or sparking can catch fire. There is no fix you can do yourself: the dealer replaces the whole fuel tank at no cost to you. Watch for a strong gasoline smell or puddles under the vehicle.
Seat belts are bolted to the vehicle body and to the seats. On these vehicles, the wrong bolts may have been used at one or more of those spots, so a belt may not be attached securely. If a belt pulls loose in a crash, it may not hold the person wearing it, which can mean more serious injuries. Dealers will find and replace any wrong bolts at no charge.
Some of these SUVs had one or both front seats taken out and put back in during a repair at the factory. The bolts that hold the seat to the floor may not have been reinstalled properly, or may be missing. A seat that is not bolted down tightly can shift or move during a crash, so the person sitting in it is more likely to be hurt. A dealer inspects both front seats and installs whatever bolts are needed.
These trucks and SUVs use a pump to help you push the brake pedal down. Over time that pump can get weaker, so the pedal takes more foot pressure and the vehicle needs more room to come to a stop. The brakes still work, but they can feel hard and stopping takes longer than you expect. Dealers reprogram the computer that manages the brake system so it handles the weaker assist better. This repair has been available since November 2020.
Some of these vehicles left the factory with a fuel pump that is missing its pressure regulator — the part that keeps fuel pressure in check. Without it, pressure can build too high, crack the fuel pump, and let gasoline leak out. Leaking fuel near anything hot or sparking can start a fire. Your dealer will replace the fuel pump at no cost to you. This recall began back in December 2019, so a used vehicle you bought may still need it.
On these 5.3-liter four-wheel-drive trucks and SUVs, a failed wheel speed sensor can fool the brake computer into braking one wheel by itself. It happens between about 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, and it makes the vehicle pull toward one side with no warning to the driver. The repair is a free software update to the brake control computer at the dealer. Owners were notified starting in December 2019.
The pump that provides the suction your power brakes rely on can get weaker as the miles add up. As it fades, the brake pedal gets harder to push and the vehicle takes longer to stop. The brakes still work, but you have to press much harder. Dealers will reprogram the brake control computer at no charge. Repairs began October 8, 2019, under GM recall number N192268490.
