The 2007 GMC Acadia has 4 recalls, the most serious being a faulty airbag control module that can prevent the front airbags from deploying in a frontal crash, with no dashboard warning light to alert the driver that the system has stopped working.
Two recalls address the rear liftgate. The gas-filled struts that hold the liftgate open can wear out prematurely, causing it to drop unexpectedly and strike anyone standing nearby. A related recall covers vehicles with a power liftgate system, where those same worn struts may fail to support the liftgate's weight. These vehicles include a Prop Rod Recovery system designed to lower the liftgate slowly if the struts can no longer hold it, but the underlying concern is the same: a liftgate that can fall without warning on a person beneath it.
The fourth recall affects vehicles registered in northern and northeastern states where road salt and winter conditions are common. The windshield wiper linkage can corrode and fail, leaving the wipers unable to clear the windshield and significantly reducing the driver's ability to see the road ahead.
