The 2024 GMC Acadia and 2025 GMC Acadia full-size crossovers are included in a service update from General Motors, related to certain affected units in which the right-hand front brake pipe is in contact with the body frame rail of the vehicle.
About 2.5 percent, or one in 40, of the 2024 and 2025 GMC Acadia units involved in the update need the brake pipe assembly replaced rather than adjusted, Service Update N242453170 notes.
The front right-hand (RH) brake pipe is in contact with the frame rail in affected 2024 and 2025 GMC Acadia vehicles, instead of a 5 millimeter (0.2 inch) gap between the pipe and rail as is correct. Before starting repairs, service technicians should confirm involvement using the Investigate Vehicle History page and a visual inspection of the pipe.
If the GMC Acadia crossover’s RH brake pipe is touching the frame, the service personnel should use “controlled adjustment” to move the pipe 5 millimeters away from the frame rail. The condition of the brake pipe should also be observed at this time.
Approximately 2.5 percent of affected 2024 and 2025 GMC Acadia units need the front right-hand brake pipe replaced entirely. Because of the rarity of this condition and limited availability of parts, dealerships should not order the brake pipe assembly as shelf stock, but only in the case that a replacement is actually needed. Both the common and rare fixes are available free until the New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires.
Meanwhile, the 2025 GMC Acadia Elevation trim is equipped with a second-row bench seat in place of the 2024 model year flat-folding captain’s chairs. This increases seating capacity for the trim level from 7 to 8 passengers in total. The 2024 GMC Acadia debuted the crossover’s third generation with larger dimensions, adding 10.6 inches of overall length, 8.4 inches of wheelbase and 3.2 inches of height.
Power is supplied to the GMC Acadia by the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine developing 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque. The long-wheelbase variant of the GM C1 platform, now augmented with features like the GM Global B electrical architecture, underpins the Big Red crossover.
Production of the Acadia takes place at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan.

I have been driving and working on vehicles for 50 years. What the hell is a front brake pipe? I assume it is a brake line?? Did some young know-nothing engineer rename it be cause he/she knows nothing about vehicles? Scary.
