The 2022 GMC Yukon is the second model year of the all-new fifth-generation SUV, introducing only a few small changes and updates as compared to the previous 2021 model year. Now, GM Authority has learned that the 2022 GMC Yukon is currently offered with limited availability for the Reverse Automatic Braking feature.
For those readers who may be unaware, the GM Reverse Automatic Braking feature uses onboard radar and ultrasonic sensors to detect when a potentially hazardous object is behind the vehicle. The system will issue an alert if such an object is detected, and will automatically apply the brakes if necessary.
The Reverse Automatic Braking feature for the GMC Yukon (RPO code UVZ) is a new addition for the 2022 model year, and is normally included and only available with the Advanced Technology Package (RPO code CWN), which includes the following content (relevant RPO codes listed in parentheses):
- Adaptive Cruise Control (KSG)
- Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking (UGN)
- Reverse Automatic Braking (UVZ)
- Rear Camera Mirror (DRZ)
- Rear Camera Mirror Washer (CWA)
- Advanced Security Package content (NWM)
The Advanced Technology Package is priced at $1,880, and is offered as optional for 2022 GMC Yukon Denali trim levels, including Yukon XL Denali. The Advanced Technology Package also requires the Max Trailering Package (RPO code NHT), priced at $415.
Now, however, some units of the 2022 GMC Yukon built on or after January 25th that would normally have Reverse Automatic Braking will not include this feature.
It’s currently unclear why Reverse Automatic Braking has limited availability for the 2022 GMC Yukon, but the ongoing global microchip shortage may play a role.
As a reminder, the GMC Yukon is available with three engine options, including the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, rated at 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, the atmospheric 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, and the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax, rated at 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
Providing the bones is the GM T1 platform, while production takes place at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.

Any word yet on when the 22″ wheels will be available?
Great!!!! another feature along with all the others my 90,000$ Yukon won’t have!! WTF!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬. Prob give you a free pizza card at dominos as compensation🤦♂️
I feel the same way, they have taken so much off my 80k Yukon AT4 and 3 months in and still no updates. I’m sure by the time they roll around to working on mine, something else will be missing. I already looked at cancelling the order, but nothing else is getting here faster than 3 months as it is.
I wanted to buy a 2022 Denali, or even a Escalade but with the issues of chips, availability, and the removal of certain feature I will wait until the shortages, and other problems are fully resolved AND the freaking dealers will have to negotiate, in other words, WORK for what I pay as opposed to sit on their ass with a take it or leave it attitude for a lesser equipped vehicle!!!!1
Have a Yukon Denali XL on order but if it arrives without everything that I ordered it with, then GM can take it and do you know what with it. I am sick of just excepting. If GM is short of parts then stop taking orders.
I have a Yukon Denali on order as well. It indeed better have everything or else I need a check for my deposit. I currently have 2020 that has been great to me so far that I bought right before the pandemic hit the fan. Got a helluva price on it. I will gladly keep it until these chip shortages and features stop getting taken away.
Also I want to point out that most dealers don’t even want you to place an order. It’s almost like it’s a dang privilege to place one. I got sick and tired of dealers calling me about a Denali coming down the pipeline with barely any options…and still charging a premium.
At least they are not doing $200,000 markups like MB dealers are doing.
