2014 GMC SIERRA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2014 GMC Sierra has 22 recalls, the most serious being multiple fire risks: exhaust components on 1500 models with 4.3L and 5.3L engines can overheat at idle and melt nearby plastic, a transmission fluid leak near hot surfaces can ignite, and overheating wiring in the cab can melt insulation and catch fire. The ignition also draws serious concern: the key can stick in the "start" position and then snap back to "accessory," cutting engine power, power steering, and brake assist while driving. On the transfer case, an electrical fault can silently shift the truck into neutral without any warning to the driver, leaving the vehicle with no drive power. A separate steering concern involves tie rods that may not have been tightened correctly at the factory and can work loose and separate from the rack, causing loss of steering control. The electric power steering can also temporarily drop out and return suddenly during low-speed turns. Trucks with a power sliding rear window have a defroster circuit that can overheat and smoke or catch fire. Several restraint and airbag recalls are present. The driver's seatbelt anchor cable can fatigue and break, letting the belt detach in a crash, and a software fault in the airbag control module can prevent frontal airbags and pretensioners from deploying. On Crew Cab models, a weld issue in the passenger airbag inflator can cause the bag to under-inflate in a crash. Front seat head restraints on certain vehicles may not hold position adequately in a rear impact. On
