Recall 24V-674: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Sep 12, 2024 · 449,671 vehicles affected · General Motors, LLC

Engine · reported Oct 21, 2026
My 2024 GMC Yukon XL Denali Ultimate (VIN [VIN], 6.2L L87) has been consuming engine oil excessively since early ownership. At the 20,219-mile oil change it was already a quart low, and it has needed repeated oil additions between changes since then. The vehicle is now at about 32,400 miles. I reported the problem in writing to the selling dealer on April 30, 2026, and again on October 9, 2026. GM opened case 115829578, but no oil consumption test or repair has been done.

When stepping on the brakes out random the 63 mph speed limit alert along with service esc, front collision un available messages show on the dashboard and little by little the brakes stop functioning up until a point where brakes don’t work at all.

On August 20, 2026, while driving my 2024 GMC Yukon XL Denali equipped with the 6.2L V8 engine at approximately 70 mph on the interstate, the vehicle experienced a sudden and complete loss of motive power without adequate warning. The vehicle unexpectedly shifted into neutral and would no longer accelerate or maintain highway speed. This occurred in active interstate traffic and almost resulted in a serious accident as I attempted to maneuver the vehicle out of the flow of traffic. The engine would not restart, and the vehicle had to be towed to a GMC dealership. The GMC dealership…
Engine · reported Aug 29, 2026
My vehicle "passed" the engine recall only to have the engine blow at 33,000 miles. My vehicle was at the dealership for 52 days most of the time was spent waiting for the new engine. Dealership was amazing, GMC however is the worst. My new engine has about 1,000 miles on it and it stutters occasionally when the auto start turns on.
