Buying a used 2019 GMC Acadia? Check these 2 recalls first
The recalls are a critical transmission fluid leak risk and possible defective Continental tires; neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Complaint volume stays high at 383 unverified owner reports, with 5 crashes, 2 fires, and 2 injuries. As with the 2018, power train leads at 153 reports, followed by electrical system at 104 and engine at 52. The tire recall only matters if the original Continentals are still fitted.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Check the tire brand and DOT date codes against the Continental tire recall
- Inspect underneath for transmission fluid leaks or fresh stains
- Ask whether the transmission has been serviced, rebuilt, or replaced
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
