GMC recalls, problems and MPG by model

NHTSA recalls, owner complaints and EPA fuel economy for every GMC model year covered on this site, with the newest recalls first.

This site covers four GMC models from the 2010 to 2026 model years: the Acadia, Sierra 1500, Terrain, and Yukon. For these models, NHTSA's files list 133 safety recalls (a recall that covers several models or model years counts once) and 19,189 owner complaints. Three of the recalls are do-not-drive or park-outside recalls: owners are told not to drive the vehicle, or to park it outside, until it is repaired.

Models

Listed by name. Complaint counts rise with sales and with time on the road, so compare a model's years with each other, not one model with another. Last column: the model year with the most owner complaints in its first three years; a dash means the model has too few comparable years or complaints to pick one.

GMC recalls in 2026 so far

This list has the 17 vehicle recalls NHTSA has received so far in 2026 that cover GMC vehicles, newest first (NHTSA's recall file of Nov 12, 2026). Each is listed once, however many models it covers; its model years are shown when it covers GMC vehicles alone, and a recall of a model on this site links to that model's page. 'Vehicles in the recall' is NHTSA's estimate for the whole recall, which can include other brands. Recalls filed by upfitters, conversion builders and distributors are not included. The count above, 28, is every recall General Motors filed this year, including any equipment recalls and recalls of its other brands; this list has the vehicle recalls of GMC vehicles filed by any automaker on the recalls-by-automaker list.
