2021 GMC YUKON Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 GMC Yukon has 8 recalls, the most serious involving a fuel tank that can leak in a rollover crash and a driveshaft that can fail suddenly, either of which can increase the risk of a crash or fire. On the drivetrain side, rear axle shafts can also wear internally over time, producing noise and vibration before eventually seizing and cutting power to the wheels. Two recalls affect occupant restraint: front seat attachment bolts may be loose or missing after an assembly repair, allowing a seat to shift in a crash, and seat belts on certain vehicles were installed with incorrect bolts that may not hold in a collision. The airbag system has two related concerns: a software fault in the communications gateway module can prevent the airbag warning light from illuminating when the system has a problem, leaving airbags potentially unable to deploy in a crash. Rounding out the list, a separate software issue can cause electric power steering to drop out at startup or while driving, making the steering wheel feel significantly heavier, particularly at low speeds. The diesel engine fuel tank recall only affects Yukons equipped with the 6-cylinder diesel.
