2022 GMC Sierra Recall

On certain vehicles, the connecting rods and/or crankshaft components may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the engine could make abnormal noises and a warning light may turn on. If you continue to drive the vehicle with these symptoms, the engine could fail. Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 6.2 L V8 gas engine.

An engine failure could cause a sudden loss of power to the wheels and increase the risk of a crash.

General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to inspect and, if necessary, repair or replace the engine. For vehicles that pass the engine inspection, the dealer will replace the oil with a higher viscosity oil, install a new oil fill cap, replace the oil filter, and add an insert to the owner's manual.

On certain trucks, the front grille deflector may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the deflector could detach from the vehicle. Note: This recall only affects certain trucks equipped with a chrome front grille deflector.

A front grille deflector that detaches from the vehicle could create a hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash.

General Motors will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.

Over time, the transmission control valve could wear and lose pressure. If this happens, the transmission could shift harshly and could cause the rear wheels to lock up. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a diesel engine.

Rear wheels that lock suddenly could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.

General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the transmission control module software to detect excess wear in advance of a wheel lock up. If detected, a service engine light would turn on, a message would display in the instrument panel and the vehicle would be limited to fifth gear.

On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the lower beam headlamps not to turn on as it becomes dark outside if the multi-function switch is in the "OFF" or "PARKING LAMP" position. This could also cause the daytime running lamps (DRLs) to turn off when the vehicle is moving. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations.

Headlamps and/or DRLs that don't turn on could reduce visibility, make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash.

General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the body control module (BCM)software.

On certain trucks, water could leak into the exterior tailgate switch. As a result, the tailgate could unlatch and open unexpectedly while parked. If this happens, cargo that is not secured could fall out of the truck bed and onto the road when the vehicle is moving. Note: This recall only affects trucks equipped with a power-locking tailgate.

Cargo that falls from the truck bed could create a road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash.

General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to replace the exterior tailgate switch. To reduce the safety risk, General Motors recommends that you should inspect the tailgate to ensure it's closed and latched before driving.

On certain vehicles, the automatic headlamps may not turn on soon enough as it becomes dark outside. Canadian regulations require automatic headlamps to turn on when the ambient light level drops below a certain point (1000 lux).

Headlamps that don't turn on as it becomes dark outside could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

General Motors will notify owners by mail and send a wireless over-the-air software update to eligible vehicles to update the body control module (BCM) software. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed at a GM dealership.

On certain vehicles, the daytime running lamps (DRLs) may stay on when the headlamps are on. Canadian regulations require the DRLs to turn off when the headlamps are on.

Daytime running lamps that stay on could cause glare for oncoming drivers and increase the risk of a crash.

General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the body control module (BCM) software.

This recall is for certain accessory sport bars sold with new vehicles or as accessory parts sold at General Motors dealerships. On certain vehicles, the high-mounted stop lamp on the accessory sport bar may not turn on when you apply the brakes. Also, the bar blocks the truck's existing high-mounted stop lamp.

A high-mounted stop lamp that does not turn on or that is blocked could make the vehicle less visible. Other drivers may not recognize that your vehicle is braking. This could increase the risk of a crash.

General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the installation of the sport bar and correct the vehicle wiring, if necessary.

This recall is a new notification for owners that purchased a soft or hard tri-fold tonneau cover from a General Motors dealer. On certain trucks, the bed-cover could come loose while driving and detach from the truck. This problem affects soft and hard tri-fold tonneau covers that were sold as an accessory by General Motors dealers. Note: This recall is related to Transport Canada recalls 2019-494 and 2020-165. If your truck was previously repaired under either of those recalls, it does not require further repair under the new recall.

A tonneau cover that separates from a moving vehicle could create a hazard for other drivers and nearby people.

General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to perform the recall repairs, including adding a tether to prevent the tonneau cover from detaching. Note: Until the recall repairs are completed, you can prevent the chance of the tonneau cover detaching by removing it from your truck and storing it.
