Recalls
3 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Airbags, Airbags Vehicle recall #21V702000 · 2021 · 2 vehicles
What's wrong: General motors, LLC. (gm) is recalling certain 2022 GMC acadia vehicles. The sensing diagnostic module (sdm) May have been left in "manufacturing mode" and not activated at the assembly plant prior to shipment. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "occupant crash protection."
Why it matters: The air bags will not deploy with an unactivated sdm, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
The fix: The vehicles will be returned to the assembly plant for sdm activation. Both affected vehicles are still in dealer inventory and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed.
Suspension Vehicle recall #22V427000 · 2022 · 736 vehicles
What's wrong: The left-rear suspension toe link May have been tightened improperly, which could result in a loose or separated toe link.
Why it matters: A loose toe link can separate and cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the left-rear suspension and replace the fastener if it is loose or missing, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 11, 2022.
Fuel system Vehicle recall #22V446000 · 2022 · 228 vehicles
What's wrong: The fuel tank rollover valve May not provide a proper seal in the event of a rollover crash.
