Due to various supply constraints over the past few years, many GM vehicles were delivered with missing features or options to keep the assembly lines rolling, with some of these features being available as a dealer retrofit at a later date. Now, buyers of GMC Sierra units who ordered additional keyfobs will finally obtain them.
According to Customer Satisfaction Program N232431900, GM dealers will provide owners of 2022 to 2024 model-year GMC Sierra 1500 units with the extra keyfobs they originally ordered when they purchased or leased the vehicle.
The fleet-focused option for two additional keyfobs (RPO code 5H1) is part of the Sierra 1500’s SEO (Special Equipment Option) list. Buyers who ordered this option would normally receive four keyfobs for the same vehicle. The two extra keys are unprogrammed, and programming them are at the customer’s expense. On the 2024 GMC Sierra 1500, the option is only available on the Pro trim level, which includes keyless entry (RPO code AQQ). Meanwhile, proximity keyfobs (RPO code AVJ) are included with the SLE, Elevation, SLT, AT4, AT4X, Denali and Denali Ultimate trim levels.
It’s unclear how many vehicles were affected by this supplier constraint, which impacted buyers of the GMC Sierra 1500 and the Chevy Silverado 1500. The program remains in effect until June 30th, 2026.
As a reminder, the 2024 GMC Sierra Pro is equipped as standard with the GM turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B engine, now branded as the TurboMax engine, matched to a revised build of the GM eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2.7L engine, which develops 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, also benefits from longer warranty coverage in the 2024 Sierra compared to previous model years. The 5.3L V8 L84 engine producing 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque is also available on the Sierra Pro, connected to the GM 10-speed automatic transmission.
Production of the 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 is currently scheduled to start on August 19th, 2024.
