Recalls 3 and 5 describe the same driver's door impact beam defect, and Recalls 4 and 6 describe the same front passenger head restraint defect. I'll treat each of those as a single issue.
The 2025 GMC Savana has 6 recalls, the most serious being a steering gear assembly where a loose nut can separate while driving, causing a sudden and complete loss of steering control.
A second serious concern affects Savana Cutaway models specifically: certain tires may have pre-existing sidewall damage that can lead to sudden air loss or loss of control while driving. On the structural side, the driver's side door may contain an impact beam with inadequate welds, meaning the door provides less protection than intended when hit from the side, raising the risk of injury to occupants in a side-impact collision. There is also a front passenger seat concern: the head restraint may not be properly welded to the seat frame, which can allow it to shift or detach in a crash, removing the neck and head support it is designed to provide at the moment it is most needed.
