Buying a used 2018 GMC Yukon? Check these 3 recalls first
Braking is the through-line for this year: two recalls address loss of brake assist or brake power assist, and a third covers trucks and SUVs that may suddenly pull to one side. None carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. Owner complaints to NHTSA total 69, unverified, led by engine (27) and powertrain (18), with suspension appearing as well. Those filings note 2 crashes and 2 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.
- Confirm both brake assist recalls were completed on this specific VIN
- Test drive on a straight, level road and watch for pulling to one side
- Ask for engine and transmission service records given the top complaint areas
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
