General Motors has released a Safety Recall for certain units of the 2025 GMC Savana vans that were produced with improper welds at the connection point of an impact beam in the driver’s side door.
The problem: 2025 GMC Savana vans affected by this issue were built with an impact beam located in the driver’s side door, which had improper welds at the beam’s front connection point.
The hazards: a 2025 GMC Savana with improper impact beam welds may not perform as intended in a side-impact crash, increasing the risk of injury to the driver.
The fix: certified GM service technicians are instructed to replace the driver’s side door and apply epoxy seam sealer as needed. The fix should take about 4.6 hours to complete.
Affected components: driver’s side door.
Affected vehicles:
- 2025 GMC Savana

Number of affected vehicles: according to GM, 8 Savana units and 74 Express units are affected by the recall. Almost 40 percent of these are currently sitting in dealer inventory or in transit. A total of 12 Express and Savana units affected by the recall are also found in Canada. Involved vans must be held in inventory until inspected and the fix applied if necessary.

You’re milking this issue.
