General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2021 Cadillac Escalade, 2021, 2023-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2022 and 2024 GMC Yukon vehicles equipped with a 6-cylinder diesel engine. The original fuel tank may have been replaced with an incorrect fuel tank, which can allow fuel to leak in a rollover crash.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Suburban, and Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles equipped with a 6.2L V8 gas engine. The connecting rod and/or crankshaft engine components may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine damage and engine failure.
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2023-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV vehicles. The electronic brake control module software may fail to display a warning light when a loss of brake fluid occurs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
2024 GMC Yukon, L87 6.2L V8 VIN: [XXX] This complaint concerns the L87 6.2L engine and NHTSA Engineering Analysis EA26005 regarding engine failure following the remedy for Recall 25V-274. My vehicle underwent the GM recall inspection, including the Pico test, and passed the inspection. The engine was therefore not replaced. Since completion of that inspection, I have continued to obtain abnormal used-oil-analysis results showing excessive and increasing engine wear metals. At the most recent oil change, I cut open the engine oil filter and found visible metallic swarf/debris embedded in the filter media. I have retained the oil filter media and have photographs documenting the metallic debris. I also have the previous oil-analysis reports documenting the wear-metal trend. The engine has now developed a loud knocking noise. Because of the knocking noise, documented abnormal wear metals, and visible metallic debris in the oil filter, I no longer consider the vehicle safe to operate due to the possibility of sudden engine failure and loss of propulsion. The significant concern is that this vehicle passed GM's Recall 25V-274 screening procedure but appears to be developing the same type of internal engine deterioration that the recall was intended to identify and prevent. I am requesting that NHTSA associate this complaint with Engineering Analysis EA26005 and review this case as a possible post-remedy failure of the Recall 25V-274 inspection procedure. Supporting evidence available includes: • Used-oil-analysis reports showing excessive and increasing wear metals • Photographs of metallic debris/swarf in the oil filter media • Retained oil filter and filter media • Dealer repair and recall records • Mileage and oil-change records • Current loud engine knocking noise The vehicle is presently not being driven because of the potential for engine seizure or sudden loss of propulsion.

My 2024 GMC Yukon Denali has experienced repeated and serious stalling, restart hesitation, shutdown, and loss-of-propulsion issues that have created an ongoing safety concern for me, my children, and other drivers. On one occasion, while I was actively driving with my children in the vehicle, the Yukon completely lost propulsion and died. I was only able to coast/roll the vehicle to a complete stop because it no longer had power. I previously reported that incident to NHTSA. Since then, there have been numerous additional occasions when I have been driving and come to a stop at a traffic light, stop sign, or in traffic and the vehicle has stalled or seriously hesitated before restarting. On September 23, 2026, while driving with my children in the vehicle, I stopped at a red light in heavy traffic. Without warning, the vehicle completely shut off, shifted into neutral, and displayed a message instructing me to restart the vehicle. I had to manually restart the Yukon before I could continue driving. This was the first time while stopped that the vehicle completely shut off, went into neutral, and required a manual restart. During these incidents, my children were in the vehicle and I was surrounded by other vehicles and heavy traffic, creating a serious safety concern. GMC has been repeatedly notified about these issues. Despite multiple complaints and prior repair attempts, the problems have continued and GMC has not provided a meaningful resolution. The cause of the most recent failure is currently unknown.

After having the recall inspection completed and changing to the recommended higher grade of motor oil, 0W40, my engine failed while driving on a major highway. We were traveling at high speed on a busy highway when the engine failed and the Yukon shifted into neutral leaving me little time to pull off the road. When the failure occurred the Yukon shifted itself into neutral and a message appeared telling me to press start again. I was able to get to the side of the roadway and called the State Police for assistance. Six of us stood on the Side of this major highway for 90 minutes waiting for a tow truck. Since the incident the engine has been replaced by the dealer but I am concerned that this may happen again. After the recall inspection they tell you that you are ok but clearly you are not, you are still in danger.

2024 GMC Yukon intermittently experiences complete loss of audio while driving. During the failure, all audio sources stop working, including radio/music and incoming hands-free telephone audio. During a phone call, the other party can hear me, but I cannot hear them through the vehicle. When this failure occurs, the audible turn-signal click/clack also does not work. In addition, the audible blind-spot warning does not sound. The visual indicators continue to function, but the associated audible warnings are lost. The condition is intermittent but persistent and can last 30+minutes. GM has issued a technical service bulletin addressing loss of audio together with loss of the turn-signal click/clack on 2023–2024 GMC Yukons. I am concerned that this is a safety-related defect because the audio-system failure results in the loss of audible driver warnings while the vehicle is being operated.

Our Yukon was taken in for the recall. Dealer did the test and said it passed and used different oil. My wife and kids were driving to [XXX] from [XXX] yesterday. As they exited the highway, the car began acting weird. Then the car completely died. It was towed due to error code P0016. Dealer said they are going to put a new engine in. I saw online that cars with replacement engines were failing too? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
