Buying a used 2023 GMC Terrain? Check these 2 recalls first
The notable recall is a high-severity one covering Equinox and Terrain passenger airbags that may not switch off, alongside a medium recall for blocked child seat anchors; neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. NHTSA has 38 unverified owner complaints on file, including 2 crashes, 1 fire and 1 injury. Engine (14) and fuel/propulsion system (14) lead the reported areas, with power train and an unknown-or-other category at 7 each.
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 passenger airbag deactivation recall was completed and watch the airbag-off indicator
- Verify the child seat anchor recall remedy before relying on LATCH
- Ask about engine and fuel/propulsion symptoms and review dealer service history
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
