    Remedy

    Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and replace the fuel tank shell if the rollover valve is found to be dislodged or missing, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 27, 2022.

    Consequence: A loose toe link can separate and cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

  3. AIR BAGSNHTSA 21V702000Sep 10, 2021

    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.
