Official safety recall2023, 2024Campaign 24V674000Braking performance may be reduced
The electronic brake control module software may fail to display a warning light when a loss of brake fluid occurs.
NHTSA campaign 24V674000 includes certain 2023 to 2024 GMC Yukon XL vehicles. 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. Without a warning light, the vehicle may be driven with low brake fluid, which can reduce braking performance and increase 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

- NHTSA campaign 24V674000
- The manufacturer filing lists 449,671 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.

Confirm who pays before authorizing work
A recall remedy follows the campaign and VIN eligibility. A service bulletin provides diagnosis or repair instructions; it does not by itself promise payment. Manufacturer warranty extensions and support programs have their own conditions.

These files do not supply a shop quote. Ask for a diagnosis and written estimate, then check recall remedies or existing coverage. A new vehicle service contract generally excludes pre-existing conditions.

What can the data tell you about GMC Yukon XL?
No model-specific individual-repair price keys are retained for GMC Yukon XL in this library. Generic parts and labor estimates, public records and separate annual cost references may still be available.
An unmatched specification is an information gap. Do not borrow an engine or drivetrain from another year.
Recall and communication counts describe records. They cannot establish a breakdown probability or current VIN status.
Price-key audit reviewed October 12, 2026; EPA source snapshot 2026-08-07. Individual-repair ranges and annual repair-budget references are different datasets.
