Buying a used 2022 GMC Sierra 1500? Check these 6 recalls first
Six recalls with two critical: rear wheels that can suddenly lock up, plus a diesel-specific version. The 6.2L V8 engine failure recall also applies. The rest are lower stakes, a sport bar that blocks the brake light, daytime running lights that stay on, and a chrome grille piece that may fall off. Among 579 unverified NHTSA complaints, engine leads at 234 and power train at 107, with structure notably high at 99. Ten crashes, 5 fires, and 3 injuries are reported.
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.
- If equipped with the 6.2L V8, ask what the engine recall inspection found
- Confirm the rear wheel lock-up recall remedy applies and was completed
- Check that the center brake light is unobstructed if a sport bar is fitted
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
