The 2019 GMC Yukon XL has 2 recalls, the most serious involving the transfer case on 4WD and AWD models, where a defect can cause front or rear wheels to lock up unexpectedly and raise the risk of a crash. The second recall affects rear seatbelt retractors in the second and third rows: the retractor may not lock when the belt is fully extended, which means a child seat anchored using that belt may not be properly secured and could move in a crash.
