Model records

What changes the warranty calculation

Across 12 model years, the GMC Yukon records contain 3,776 complaints. The median count per model year is 251 reports. These figures do not account for annual sales.

The 2015 record contains 972 complaint reports. No listed year has a higher raw count, though other years may be tied. This comparison uses all listed years without adjusting for sales or time on the road; it does not establish a failure rate.

Engine replacement or major internal repair has the highest midpoint parts estimate in the applicable list, at $7,000. Check the remaining factory coverage before paying for an extra plan that overlaps with it.

Braking performance may be reduced

If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.

NHTSA campaign 19V761000 includes certain 2015 to 2020 GMC Yukon vehicles. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system. Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

Symptoms to compare
  • The driver may notice a warning, changed pedal feel or reduced braking, depending on the recalled component
  • An open campaign appears when the complete VIN is checked
  • Some recalled vehicles may show no advance warning before the component fails

Other ways owners describe it: brake pedal feels soft; car takes longer to stop; brake warning light; brakes suddenly weak; brake fluid leaking; parking brake not working.

Which vehicles the source covers
  • 2015 to 2020 GMC Yukon
  • NHTSA campaign 19V761000
  • The manufacturer filing lists 652,967 potentially affected units across the complete campaign.
  • VIN eligibility determines whether this recall applies to an individual vehicle

Safety recall eligibility is based on the VIN and campaign scope, not ordinary warranty mileage. Check the complete VIN even when the vehicle is outside its original warranty.

Official NHTSA safety recall2021

Fuel tank shell defect may allow gasoline to leak

NHTSA campaign 21V064000 lists the 2021 GMC Yukon for a condition in which fuel tank shell defect may allow gasoline to leak.

NHTSA lists the 2021 GMC Yukon in safety campaign 21V064000. The official record says: The fuel tank assemblies may be missing adhesive between two layers of the fuel tank shell which may result in a fuel leak. The stated safety consequence is: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. A make, model and year match does not confirm that a specific VIN is included or that the repair remains open.

Symptoms to compare
  • Fuel may be visible leaking from the tank
  • A fire may start if leaked fuel reaches an ignition source

Other ways owners describe it: 2021 Yukon fuel tank leaking; GMC Yukon fuel tank shell problem; Yukon gasoline leak from tank; Yukon fuel system, gasoline and storage recall; NHTSA campaign 21V064000.

Which vehicles the source covers
  • 2021 GMC Yukon
  • Vehicles included in NHTSA campaign 21V064000
  • VIN confirmation is required

Campaign 21V064000 is based on the recalled vehicle population and VIN, not a published mileage threshold. Mileage alone cannot confirm or exclude it.
