Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Driver assistance
Filed Oct 10, 2026

Within the first 100 miles of driving my new 2027 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate, its OnStar system stopped functioning. I returned the vehicle to an authorized GMC dealership on XXX, five days after purchase and delivery. The dealership advised that an electronic module must be replaced, but that the replacement part is on backorder with no estimated availability or repair date. The SUV remains at the dealership with approximately 200 miles on the odometer. I am concerned that the OnStar failure may affect emergency SOS assistance and Automatic Crash Response. GM has not provided written confirmation identifying which emergency and driver-assistance functions remain operational. The dealership has not declared the vehicle mechanically undrivable, but I do not consider it suitable for my personal use until these emergency functions are confirmed operational or repaired. I request NHTSA review this reported failure as a possible safety-related defect. I opened a case with GM - Case #XXX. I also sent a notice to GM management on XXX detailing the issue and specific requests I am making. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT(FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Incident

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

PIC5650N

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have an intermittent no crank, no start, or start stall concern with the security light coming on. Technician may find Diagnostic Trouble Codes B3055, B3

PIT6015D

This Preliminary Information provides diagnostic tips and guidance for situations where key fobs cannot be learned or programmed successfully.

PIT6564

Beginning with 2026 model year production, the floor console/armrest lamp design was changed by removing the tilt-switch ball. As a result, the lamp remains illuminated when the floor console compartment lid is closed. The BCM turns the lamp off after the ignition is switched off to prevent battery rundown. This PI is to inform dealers of the change in the lamp and operation of the lamp following repairs.

PIC6629G

This PI is to instruct dealer on diagnostic procedures that need to be completed prior to replacing a radio or IPC display

PIT6560

This PI communicates information that Engineering is aware of the Amber Air Suspension Lock indicator coming on and are investigating the concern. The PI provides reset instructions for the dealer to clear the indicator.

PIT6471A

This Preliminary Information is to inform technicians to not replace any parts at this time and to use the work around provided. When a fix is available, this PI will be updated to a bulletin.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
