Buying a used 2020 GMC Acadia? Check these 6 recalls first
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
- 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.
- Have a dealer print the full open-recall list for this VIN — six apply
- Confirm the tires are not covered by either Continental recall, or were replaced
- Test the rearview camera and ask about stalling, steering, or electrical faults
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
