Buying a used 2023 GMC Sierra 1500? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 has 3 recalls in this group: engine failure, a brake warning light that may fail, and daytime running lights that stay on. The engine issue is the principal mechanical recall, while the lighting entries concern warning indication and lamp operation. Its 515 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, including ENGINE 217, STRUCTURE 97, POWER TRAIN 93, and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 64. Structure complaints are also a notable inspection topic.
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 engine failure recall applicability, remedy completion, and engine repair history.
- Confirm brake warning light and daytime running light recall repairs.
- Ask about body or structural problems and request related inspection records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
