The 2026 GMC Savana has 3 recalls, the most serious being a steering column defect where the gear shifter can indicate one gear while the transmission is actually in another, causing sudden unexpected vehicle movement.
The gear selection issue stems from the steering column assembly and can leave a driver believing the vehicle is in park when it is not, creating a rollaway or lurch risk. There is also a separate recall affecting Savana Cutaway models: certain tires may have sidewall damage that can cause a sudden blowout or loss of control while driving.
