Buying a used 2022 GMC Yukon XL? Check these 4 recalls first
Four recalls here, a shorter list than 2021: a critical one for rear wheels that may lock, third-row seat belts that may break, possible 6.2L V8 engine failure, and a lower-severity daytime running light issue. None carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. Of 163 unverified owner complaints filed with NHTSA, 108 involve the engine, with 29 powertrain and 20 electrical; reports include 3 crashes and 7 injuries.
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 the rear wheel lock and third-row seat belt recalls were performed on this VIN
- Ask whether the engine is the 6.2L V8 covered by the engine failure recall
- Request full service history for engine and transmission work
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
