GMC Yukon Recalled For DRLs That Don’t Deactivate

GM has issued a product recall for certain examples of 2022 and 2023 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL models due to an issue related to daytime running lights (DRLs) failing to deactivate.

The problem: affected vehicles fitted with faulty DRLs don’t deactivate when the headlights are turned on, and fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.”

GMC Yukon AT4.

The hazards: DRLs that fail to deactivate fail could cause glare for oncoming drivers and increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: certified GM technicians will be instructed to update the body control module software at the dealership, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge.

Affected components: daytime running lights (DRLs).

Affected vehicles: besides the 2022-2023 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, this recall also impacts several other GM vehicles, including:

It’s worth noting that this recall affects both U.S. and Canadian models.

Number of affected vehicles: GM indicates there are 740,108 units affected in the U.S. and 85,685 units in Canada across all nameplates listed above.

Owners should: GM will notify owners of affected vehicles and instruct them to make an appointment with their dealer. For U.S. owners, notification letters are expected to be mailed January 23rd, 2023.

  1. I wonder if this is why my switch to make the dash lights bright and dim on my 23 silverado don’t work either
