The 2008 GMC W3500 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a stuck accelerator pedal on gasoline-engine models that can lock at full throttle, making the vehicle difficult to slow or stop and raising the risk of a crash.
The remaining two recalls both address the same fuel system issue: the fuel tank can corrode prematurely and leak, creating a fire risk if fuel contacts an ignition source.
