NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2025 GMC Canyon has 2 recalls, the more serious being a passenger airbag that can deploy at a higher force than intended in a crash, raising the risk of injury to the front passenger.
This recall only affects AT4X AEV trim vehicles, where a software error in the airbag control module causes the second stage of the passenger airbag to fire when only the first stage should. The other recall involves the owner's manual: certain vehicles were distributed without complete or correct documentation, meaning owners may not have access to important information about safely operating the vehicle.
