Buying a used 2023 GMC Canyon? Check these 3 recalls first
Three recalls shared with the Chevrolet Colorado: trucks that brake on their own, front wheel bolts that may break, and loose seat belt bolts. None carry stop-driving or park-outside instructions. The 60 unverified owner complaints show no crashes, 1 fire, and 1 injury. The complaint mix echoes the braking recall — forward collision avoidance is second-largest at 18 reports, behind electrical system at 20, with service brakes at 9.
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.
- Ask whether the truck has ever braked unexpectedly and if that recall is closed
- Verify the front wheel bolt and seat belt bolt recalls were completed
- Have wheel bolt condition and torque checked, especially if wheels were removed
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
