GM has issued a product recall for certain units of the 2023 GMC Acadia due to the installation of the incorrect transmission sun gear.
The problem: vehicles built with the incorrect transmission sun gear can have the driver-side half-shaft disengage from the transmission.
The hazards: if the driver-side half-shaft were to disengage, affected vehicles can experience a loss of drive power or a rollaway while parked, both of which can lead to an increased risk of a serious crash.
The fix: certified GM technicians will be instructed to inspect the transmission and replace the sun gear as necessary, all free of charge.
Affected components: transmission sun gear.
Affected vehicles:
- 2023 Chevy Blazer
- 2023 Chevy Traverse
- 2023 GMC Acadia
- 2022 Cadillac XT5
- 2023 Cadillac XT5
- 2023 Cadillac XT6
Number of affected vehicles: GM believes there are 7,840 vehicles affected by this recall in total, including 1,059 units of the 2023 Acadia.
Owners should: GM will notify owners of affected vehicles and instruct them to make an appointment with their dealer. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 1st, 2023.

More GM Junk! GM is trying to catch up to Ford on recalls. How do you install the wrong sun gear in a transmission?
Only at Government Motors!
They have a long way to go to catch up to Ford.
You can always tell the Ford, Tesla and Stellantis fanboy’s comments from anyone else’s here on GMA. GM’s delusional haters are more common here than their supporters/fans, the trolls literally beat everyone else to the comment section. It never fails, and when people who don’t care for your company are this triggered it usually means you’re doing something correct.
These weirdos tailgate and camp-out here for articles like this, just so they can post crap like “GM junk” lol meanwhile Ford and Fiat’s RAM/Dodge/Jeep have so many quality control issues that recalls can’t even save those products.
I completely agree.
I have bought American made automobiles since I started driving ,
Who has The Most Reliable Automobile’s Made in
America now ?
including foreign names ?
Looks like GM needs to give the vendor a whipping.
It is a shame that after trading in our 2018 GMC Acadia for a brand new 2023 GMC Acadia just 1 week ago (due to a multiple variety of problems with the 2018), we end up with a Transmission Recall so soon after with the brand new 2023…
