Buying a used 2022 GMC Sierra 2500? Check these 3 recalls first
A shorter recall list than earlier years, but two are critical: a brake module fire risk carrying a park-outside advisory, and diesels whose rear wheels can lock. The third is a heavy-duty tailgate that can unlatch on its own. Owners filed 43 unverified NHTSA complaints, including one crash, two fires and three injuries, with electrical the largest group at 12, then tires, power train and other.
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.
- Get proof the brake module fire recall was repaired, since affected trucks were advised to park outside
- Verify the diesel rear-wheel-lock recall against the VIN
- Test the tailgate latch repeatedly and ask whether the unlatching recall was performed
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
