Buying a used 2021 GMC Canyon? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2021 GMC Canyon has 2 recalls addressing potentially incorrect seat belt bolts and an inaccurate load capacity label. The restraint hardware issue warrants repair documentation, and the label correction matters when checking the truck's stated carrying capacity. NHTSA lists 11 owner complaints, which are unverified reports. Steering, power train, unknown or other, and air bags each account for 2 reports. The record includes 2 crashes, 1 fire, and 5 injuries, without establishing causation.
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.
- Verify completion of the seat belt bolt recall.
- Confirm the corrected load capacity label is installed.
- Review steering, power train, and airbag fault or repair history.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
