The 2026 GMC Savana has 4 recalls, all rated at the same severity level, with the most consequential being two steering-related defects: a loose nut in the steering gear assembly that can separate while driving and cause a sudden loss of steering control, and a steering column component that can cause the gear shifter to display the wrong gear, leading to unexpected vehicle movement.
The gear selection issue appears in two separate filings describing the same underlying problem: the steering column assembly is built incorrectly, so the shifter can feel like it is in park or drive while the transmission is actually in a different gear entirely, creating a rollaway or lurch risk. On the tire side, this recall affects Savana Cutaway models specifically: certain vehicles left the factory with sidewall damage already present on the tires, meaning a tire can lose air suddenly or cause the driver to lose control without warning.
