Buying a used 2020 GMC Yukon XL? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls, both worth tracing on a specific truck: a critical fuel pump leak with fire risk across GM trucks and SUVs, and a high-severity recall for defective Continental tires. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. NHTSA lists 46 unverified owner complaints — 2 crashes, 1 fire, 1 injury — and they tilt heavily toward the engine (24) and power train (12), with service brakes and an unknown-or-other category at 3 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.
- Run the VIN to confirm the fuel pump recall repair and check for fuel odor or leaks
- Identify the tire brand and whether the Continental tires were replaced under recall
- Request engine and drivetrain service records given the complaint concentration there
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
