Buying a used 2020 GMC Acadia? Check these 6 recalls first

6 NHTSA recalls · 100 owner complaints on file

This year carries the longest recall list of the recent Acadias — two critical items, a fuel pump that can stall the engine and a transmission fluid leak, plus two separate Continental tire recalls, weak roof airbags, and a failing rearview camera. None carry stop-driving or park-outside instructions. Complaints drop sharply to 100 unverified reports with 4 crashes, 2 injuries, and no fires, spread fairly evenly across electrical, engine, power train, and steering.

Before you buy

  1. 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.
  2. Have a dealer print the full open-recall list for this VIN — six apply
  3. Confirm the tires are not covered by either Continental recall, or were replaced
  4. Test the rearview camera and ask about stalling, steering, or electrical faults
  5. Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
