This page covers 2 recalls and 11 owner complaints for the 2014 GMC Yukon Xl.
The 2014 GMC Yukon XL has a thin complaint record, so no single pattern dominates clearly. Among the named systems, brakes draw the most reports, with owners describing difficulty stopping in time. One owner reports an anti-theft warning light appearing on the instrument panel alongside repeated no-start conditions, suggesting an electrical or security system fault. A separate report describes dashboard cracking above the instrument panel and near the passenger airbag cover, which a few owners note occurred at relatively low mileage. The airbag complaint on file relates to the cracked dash rather than a deployment issue. With only a handful of reports across all systems, these are scattered observations rather than a well-established pattern for this model year.

By System
The 2014 GMC Yukon XL has 2 recalls, the most serious involving the front passenger airbag inflator, which can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
This airbag recall applies to vehicles originally sold or registered in high-humidity states and territories, as moisture exposure is linked to the inflator failure. The second recall affects a narrow production window: certain vehicles built in late July 2013 may have loose brake caliper bolts, which can reduce braking force and extend stopping distances.
