The vehicle (where a record says)

A record is under an engine, a drive or a series only where it says so: the characters of the vehicle identification number filed with a complaint, its text, or what its document says it applies to. A record that does not say is kept as "not stated". The filed numbers and the documents do not tell 4WD from AWD.

Record by record

1322 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.

A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

  1. Recall2000 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2005-01-14

    Hydraulic pump driveshaft fracture recall

    1. 1Fault

      Not stated

    2. 2Finding the cause

    3. 3Correction

      Not stated

    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    Certain vehicles are equipped with a hydraulic pump driveshaft that can fracture, resulting in immediate loss of hydraulic power steering assist. On certain vehicles equipped with Hydro-Boost power brakes, the same condition can result in loss of power assist for braking after the reserve pressure is depleted. Correction: Dealers will replace the hydraulic pump. This action is deemed a Customer Satisfaction Campaign and is not being conducted under the Safety Act.
  2. Recall2003–2004 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2004-01-29

    Brake hydro-boost module relief valve o-ring seal failure

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

    3. 3Correction

      Not stated

    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    On certain vehicles, the relief valve o-ring seal within the brake hydro-boost module could fail. If this happens during braking applications, the driver may be able to hear an engine compartment noise similar to the sound that occurs when the steering wheel is turned to a full stop position. The driver could also experience a slight increase in steering efforts while braking and parking. Under certain driving conditions, a slight increase in the applied brake pedal effort may be required to achieve the same vehicle deceleration rate as prior to the seal failure. Correction: Dealers will inspect the hydro-boost module, and replace it, if necessary.
  3. Recall2000 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2000-11-17

    Brake pipe wear contact recall

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

    3. 3Correction

      Not stated

    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    On certain vehicles, the body cross sill may contact the front, right-hand brake pipe. This could eventually wear a hole in the brake pipe over the normal life of the vehicle and result in a brake fluid leak. This could ultimately result in a partial brake system failure and increased stopping distances. Correction: Dealers will inspect for brake pipe wear and replace worn section if necessary. A spacer clip will be installed to ensure adequate clearance.
  4. Recall2000 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2000-08-28

    Brake Booster Vacuum Supply Hose Recall

      Not stated

    2. 2Finding the cause

    3. 3Correction

      Not stated

    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of C.M.V.S.S. 105 - Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems. Vehicles may have a kinked brake booster vacuum supply hose which could increase stopping distances in multiple brake applications. Correction: Brake vacuum booster supply hose will be rerouted.

SEATS AND RESTRAINTS3

  1. Recall2003–2005 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2005-04-25

    2nd Row Centre Seat Belt Routing Recall

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

    3. 3Correction

      Not stated

    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    On certain vehicles, the 2nd row centre occupant seat belt routing may make it difficult to position the lap portion of the safety belt low around the hips of occupants. A lap portion of the seat belt routing that is not low and snug on the hips can allow unfavourable occupant kinetics in the event of a crash. Moreover, the higher routing allows the lap belt to ride up on an occupant's abdomen instead of fitting low around their hipbones, and therefore, can expose them to more risk of abdominal and internal organ injury. Correction: Dealers will modify the guide loop.
  2. Recall2001–2002 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2002-04-11

    Seat Belt Retractor Sensor Inoperative Recall

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Certain vehicles fail to conform to CMVSS 209, seat belt assemblies. These vehicles have a condition where one or two sensors in the driver's and front seat passengers seat belt retractors may be inoperative. The seat belt retractors will lock when the belt webbing is extracted during a crash; however the mechanism that locks the seat belt retractor when the vehicle decelerates quickly, such as during heavy braking, may not restrain the occupant as intended during a crash, and could result in injury to the occupant. Correction update: None required as no effect on vehicle safety. See recall 04-158.

    2nd and 3rd Row Outboard Seat Belt Retractor Crack

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Certain vehicles have an internal component in the 2nd and 3rd row outboard seat belt retractor that could be cracked. With repeated actuation of the locking mechanism, the crack could spread to the point where the seat belt would no longer lock. In a crash, increased occupant injury could result from the no-lock condition. Correction: Dealers will inspect the outboard seat belts for specific lot numbers and replace the belts if necessary. GM is enclosing an inspection procedure for the owners to use or they can have their dealers do the inspections.

ELECTRICAL1

    Fuel Module Reservoir Assembly Overheating Recall

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

    3. 3Correction

      Not stated

    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    Certain vehicles were built with fuel module reservoir assemblies that contain fuel pump wires and/or connectors that may overheat under certain operating conditions. Fuel pump wires that overheat may become exposed and result in one or more conditions; 1) If the ignition circuit wire is exposed and shorts to ground, the fuel pump fuse will blow, disabling the fuel pump and causing an engine stall or no-start condition. 2) If sufficient heat is conducted to the pass-through connector, a hole in the connector may result, which may cause the Service Engine Soon light to be illuminated during the emission system diagnostics routine. Fuel vapour (and in some limited cases liquid fuel) may leak out of the fuel tank through the hole in the connector body. 3) If the ignition circuit or ground wire is exposed and shorts to the fuel level sender card wires, inaccurate fuel level readings may result. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
