Buying a used 2024 GMC Sierra 2500? Check these 4 recalls first
One critical recall covers a loss of steering on Silverado and Sierra HD trucks, which is the item to settle first. The rest are lower severity: two separate tailgate recalls for latches that can open on their own, and an incorrect tire pressure label. Complaint volume is the highest in this range at 102 unverified NHTSA reports, with two crashes and three injuries and no fires; electrical leads at 31, followed by power train at 26 and brakes at 16.
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.
- Confirm the steering loss recall repair on the VIN and note any steering wander or heaviness on the test drive
- Check both tailgate recalls, since two separate actions apply, and cycle the latch several times
- Compare the door jamb tire pressure label against the correct spec, as the label recall says it can be wrong
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
