Buying a used 2018 GMC Yukon? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2018 GMC Yukon has 3 recalls in this group, all involving braking: weakened or lost brake assist, plus unexpected braking and pulling. That concentration makes brake repair documentation particularly relevant. The 69 unverified owner complaints list engine with 27 reports, power train with 18, suspension with 8, and unknown or other with 8. The complaint record includes 2 crashes and 2 injuries, with 0 fires; these are reported outcomes, not verified findings.
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.
- Request completion records for all braking recalls.
- Ask about hard pedals, reduced assist, or unexpected pulling.
- Review engine, transmission, and suspension repair records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
