In November 2022, it was reported that select units of the 2023 GMC Yukon would be built without their wireless phone charging feature. Now, GM Authority has exclusively learned that this is no longer the case.
GM Authority sources tell us that the wireless phone charging feature (RPO Code K4C), which was originally constrained from late October to late November, is once again available to order on 2023 Yukon models as of November 21st, 2022 production.
Affected vehicles can be identified with the RPO Code 00C on the window sticker. There is no retrofit for these units available or planned at this time.
It’s worth noting that wireless cell phone charging is normally offered as standard on SLT, AT4, Denali and Denali Ultimate trim levels, while not offered at all on the SLE trim.
For context, GM has been struggling with GMC Yukon parts constraints lately. In September 2022 alone, select units of the Yukon were built without ventilated seats, while the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving feature was under constraint. Earlier than that, in August, the Yukon was temporarily unavailable to order with the Enhanced Trailering Technology Package (ZM1).
As a reminder, the 2023 GMC Yukon, and accompanying Yukon XL, is offered with three engine choices. These include the naturally aspirated 5.3L V8 L84 gasoline engine, rated at 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine, rated at 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, and finally the 3.0L I6 LM2 turbodiesel Duramax, rated at 277 horsepower at and 460 pound-feet of torque.
Regardless of engine choice, all three are mated to the GM 10-speed automatic transmission.
Underneath the body panels, the 2023 GMC Yukon rides on the GM T1 platform, while production takes place at the GM Arlington plant in Texas.

Our ‘23 model had a build date in first week of Sept. It was delivered with ventilated seats and wireless charging/car play. Our constraint was that we couldn’t get the max tow package to that we were on the fence about.
We must have gotten lucky. How hard is the retrofit for models built without the processor for vented seats?
Wish ours would have skipped the dynamic fuel management and all the hardware that came with it. Love the V8. Don’t love the potential long term issues of these fuel saving features. The GMC can’t be worse than the Range Rover we were considering as an alternative though.
