GMC recall statistics show a wide range of campaign sizes, from single-digit records to campaigns listing hundreds of thousands of potentially affected vehicles. The figures below come from U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) campaign records from 2022 through 2026 and cover campaigns that include named GMC models.

How to read these GMC recall statistics
The source is the official NHTSA FLAT_RCL_POST_2010 recall data download, with the dataset documentation available from NHTSA Datasets and APIs. The geography is the United States. A campaign number such as 26V083000 identifies an NHTSA campaign record; the campaign year reflects the record’s received or publication-era year.
The key unit is POTAFF, meaning Potential Number of Units Affected. It is a campaign-level count, not a count of GMC vehicles alone unless the record says so. The campaigns may also include Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, or other makes. They are therefore best read as GMC-including recall records: the named GMC model is present, while the total may cover multiple makes and models.
These statistics measure potentially affected vehicles. They do not establish how many owners completed a repair, how many vehicles actually experienced a failure, or what the total repair cost was. Model names are reported as listed in the NHTSA records, and the supplied claims do not provide a complete GMC-wide model-year breakdown.
Recent recall scale and model-year coverage
The 2026 records show how widely campaign size can vary. Campaign 26V399000 listed 26,541 potentially affected vehicles and included GMC Savana for a steering issue. Campaign 26V345000 listed 232 Savana-including vehicles for a steering-column issue, while 26V127000 listed 857 for a tire-sidewall issue.
Several 2026 campaigns involved Sierra models. Campaign 26V611000 listed 1,559 potentially affected vehicles and included Sierra 1500, 2500, and 3500 for a side/window curtain inflator issue. Campaign 26V325000 listed 4,315 for an air-bag issue, and 26V166000 listed 2,819 for another air-bag campaign. Campaign 26V129000 listed 11,807 and included Sierra 3500 for a gasoline fuel-pump control or drive-module issue.
The same period includes smaller records: 26V530000 listed 8 vehicles and included Sierra 2500 for tires and tire-pressure monitoring; 26V494000 listed 11 and included Hummer EV Pickup and Sierra EV for a traction-battery issue; and 26V289000 listed 66 and included Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Yukon XL for a four-wheel-drive transfer-case issue.
| NHTSA campaign | GMC models named | Potentially affected vehicles | Listed component area |
|---|---|---|---|
| 26V399000 | Savana | 26,541 | Steering |
| 26V345000 | Savana | 232 | Steering column |
| 26V325000 | Sierra 1500, 2500, 3500 | 4,315 | Air bags |
| 26V129000 | Sierra 3500 | 11,807 | Fuel-pump control/drive module |
| 26V530000 | Sierra 2500 | 8 | Tires and tire-pressure monitoring |
Other 2026 records illustrate broader GMC coverage. Campaign 26V304000 listed 2,457 potentially affected vehicles and included Yukon and Yukon XL for a wheel-hub issue. Campaign 26V114000 listed 5,861 across a record naming Acadia, Canyon, Hummer EV Pickup, Hummer EV SUV, Sierra 1500, Sierra 2500, Sierra 3500, Sierra EV, Terrain, Yukon, and Yukon XL for an owners/service/other manual issue. Campaign 26V085000 listed 43,743 and included Yukon and Yukon XL for automatic-transmission software and valve-body issues.
The late-2025 records also ranged from 5 potentially affected Sierra EV vehicles in campaign 25V015000 to 70,768 Sierra 1500 vehicles in campaign 25V060000. Campaign 25V274000 listed 597,571 and included Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Yukon XL for an internal engine hard-parts issue. These totals remain campaign-level POTAFF figures rather than GMC-only totals.
Sierra and heavy-duty pickup recalls
Sierra and heavy-duty pickup records appear repeatedly across the 2023–2026 period. The largest listed pickup-related campaign in the supplied records was 24V060000, which listed 570,434 potentially affected vehicles and included Sierra 2500 and Sierra 3500 for a tailgate-latch issue. Campaign 24V894000 listed 131,231 for the same broad component area, while 24V756000 listed 2,061 Sierra 1500, 2500, and 3500 vehicles for a side/window curtain inflator issue.
The 2024 transmission record 24V797000 listed 463,295 potentially affected vehicles and named Sierra 1500, Sierra 2500, Sierra 3500, Yukon, and Yukon XL. Its component fields covered automatic-transmission control-module software and transmission fluid or valve-body issues. Campaign 24V674000 listed 449,671 and included Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Yukon XL for a low-brake-fluid warning lamp and electric power-assist control-module software issue.
The 2023 pickup records were smaller but covered several systems. Campaign 23V549000 listed 3,893 Sierra 2500 and 3500 vehicles for steering. Campaign 23V047000 listed 22,132 for a diesel fuel-tank assembly issue. In the 2025 records, campaign 25V432000 listed 1,658 Sierra 1500, 2500, and 3500 vehicles for an air-bag issue, while campaign 25V876000 listed 86 and included Sierra 1500 for wheelchair-restraint latches or anchors.
The 26V083000 record listed 1,055 potentially affected vehicles and included Sierra 1500, Sierra 2500, and Sierra 3500. Its listed components were automatic-transmission control-module software and transmission fluid or valve-body issues. The campaign identifier is 26V083000; the count is not a completed-repair total.
GMC SUV recall records
GMC SUV campaigns include Acadia, Terrain, Yukon, and Yukon XL, with totals ranging from 9 to nearly one million vehicles in the supplied NHTSA records. Campaign 23V334000 listed 995,085 potentially affected vehicles and included Acadia for a driver-side frontal air-bag inflator issue. Campaign 23V339000 listed 668,187 and included Terrain for a child-seat vehicle latch-anchor issue.
Other 2023 SUV records were much smaller. Campaign 23V172000 listed 8,744 Acadia-including vehicles for an automatic-transmission issue, while 23V043000 listed 10 for an Acadia driveshaft issue. Campaign 23V681000 listed 42 for an Acadia windshield issue. Campaign 22V929000 listed 9 Terrain vehicles for a front-passenger occupant-classification sensor issue.
Yukon and Yukon XL appear in several larger 2024 and 2025 campaigns. Campaign 24V797000 listed 463,295 across the named GMC models for transmission software and valve-body issues. Campaign 24V674000 listed 449,671 for brake warning and electric power-assist software issues.

Smaller SUV campaigns included 23V642000, with 189 Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles listed for a rear-suspension issue, and 23V869000, with 265 Terrain vehicles listed for a body-door issue. In 2026, campaign 26V304000 listed 2,457 Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles for a wheel-hub issue, and 26V289000 listed 66 and included Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Yukon XL for a transfer-case issue.
Canyon, Savana, and commercial GMC recalls
The Canyon records cover safety systems, fuel systems, lighting, and wheel hardware. Campaign 24V673000 listed 13,241 potentially affected Canyon vehicles for an exterior-lighting headlight issue. Campaign 24V491000 listed 8,622 for fuel-pump mounting-plate or fuel-tank assembly issues.

Savana records also vary sharply. Campaign 23V247000 listed 150,830 potentially affected vehicles for an electrical-wiring issue. Campaign 24V839000 listed 77,824 for automatic-transmission control-module software, and 24V702000 listed 18,325 Savana Cutaway Van vehicles for hydraulic brake-assist hoses, lines, piping, and fittings. Smaller records included 24V858000, with 582 Savana Cutaway Van vehicles for a camera-based back-over-prevention sensing system, and 25V299000, with 32 Savana vehicles for a front-seat head-restraint issue.
In 2025, campaign 25V087000 listed 82 Savana vehicles for a body-door issue. The 2026 steering records were 26V399000 at 26,541 vehicles and 26V345000 at 232 vehicles. Campaign 26V127000 added 857 Savana vehicles for a tire-sidewall issue.
GMC EV and Hummer recall records
The EV records include Sierra EV, Hummer EV Pickup, and Hummer EV SUV. Campaign 24V755000 listed 1,962 potentially affected Sierra EV vehicles for an exterior-lighting control-module issue. Campaign 24V320000 listed 10 and included Hummer EV Pickup and Sierra EV for electrical propulsion-system and wiring issues.
The Hummer records were also small in several years. Campaign 23V786000 listed 115 Hummer EV Pickup and Hummer EV SUV vehicles for front seat-belt anchorage. Campaign 23V367000 listed 33 Hummer EV Pickup vehicles for a propulsion-system traction-battery issue. Campaign 25V769000 listed 354 Hummer EV Pickup and Hummer EV SUV vehicles for a frontal air-bag issue.
The 2026 records include campaign 26V494000, with 11 potentially affected vehicles and Hummer EV Pickup and Sierra EV named for a propulsion-system traction-battery issue. Campaign 26V496000 listed 952 Sierra EV vehicles for a temporary or emergency spare-tire and wheel issue. Campaign 26V114000 named both Hummer EV models and Sierra EV among its broad list of GMC models, with 5,861 potentially affected vehicles across the campaign.
Hazards, outcomes, and data limits
The component fields show that GMC-including recalls span restraint systems, steering, braking, powertrain, electrical systems, tires, lighting, body structure, and driver-assistance technology. They identify the affected system recorded by NHTSA, but they do not quantify the number of crashes, injuries, failures, completed repairs, or dollars spent on repairs.
For that reason, a campaign with 995,085 potentially affected vehicles cannot be treated as 995,085 confirmed failures, and a campaign with 8 vehicles cannot be interpreted as a GMC-wide rate. The NHTSA flat recall file provides campaign size and corrective-action metadata, not a comparable GMC-wide repair-completion rate or total repair-cost statistic. The figures above should therefore be used to compare the scale and subject of recall campaigns, with the United States, campaign period, named models, and campaign-level scope kept explicit.
