2018 GMC Yukon Recalls & Complaints

The 2018 GMC Yukon has 3 recalls, all involving the brakes: one can cause the vehicle to pull sharply to one side without warning, while two others reduce braking power and extend stopping distances.

The unexpected pulling issue affects four-wheel drive models with a 5.3-liter engine and 3.08-ratio rear axle. A faulty sensor can trigger the driveline-protection system unintentionally, applying braking force to one side of the vehicle and yanking it in that direction. The braking power concerns stem from the vacuum pump that assists the brake pedal losing output over time. As vacuum pressure drops, the pedal requires more force to press and the vehicle takes longer to stop. These overlapping brake assist issues affect certain trims equipped with either a 5.3-liter or 6.2-liter V8 engine, and prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the problem across all affected configurations.
