NHTSA campaign 20V668 covers certain 2019-2020 GMC Acadia vehicles. The start/stop transmission-accumulator endcap may be missing bolts, which can cause an oil leak and loss of transmission function and may increase fire risk.
Check the VIN with GMC. Dealers inspect the start/stop transmission accumulator and replace it when bolts are missing free of charge under GM campaign N202313440.
The 35R clutch wave plate inside the 6T70/6T75 six-speed transaxle cracks and fractures, allowing the 35R clutch piston to overstroke and leak apply pressure. The result is a hard flare or slip in 3rd and 5th gear and eventually a complete loss of reverse. Failures typically begin after about 25,000 miles and are extremely common on the early Lambda Acadia; GM eventually extended coverage on the wave plate to 10 years/120,000 miles. Debris from the broken plate circulates through the transmission, so a simple plate swap is often not enough on high-mileage units.
Transmission must come apart. The correct repair is replacement of the 35R clutch wave plate with the redesigned/updated part plus new 35R clutch pack and seals, a thorough flush of the cooler and valve body, and a fluid/filter change. On units run for a long time after failure, a full rebuild or remanufactured transaxle is the realistic fix. Check eligibility under the extended special coverage before paying out of pocket.
The 2009 GMC Acadia falls under GM safety recall 09V073000, covering a transmission shift cable adjustment clip that may not be fully engaged. With the clip unseated, the shift lever and the transmission's actual gear position may not match. For an Acadia owner that means the vehicle can be shifted to PARK and the key pulled without the transmission truly being in park — NHTSA warns the vehicle could roll away after the driver has exited, and that the driver may not be able to restart it. The vehicles are recorded as failing to comply with FMVSS 102 (shift position sequence, starter interlock, transmission braking effect) and FMVSS 114 (theft protection and rollaway prevention). The 276,729 figure is the total across every model in the campaign.
Common Symptoms
Actual transmission gear differs from the gear shown on the shifter
Rollaway after parking and exiting the vehicle
No-restart after shutting the engine off
How to Fix
Free dealer service. A GMC dealer inspects the transmission shift cable adjustment clip and confirms it is fully engaged; if the clip does not engage, the shift cable is replaced free of charge. The recall opened on or before March 24, 2009. GMC's line for this campaign was 1-866-996-9463. Because these Acadias are now well into second- and third-owner territory, run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the inspection was performed.
The second-generation Acadia (2017+) uses the GM 9T65 9-speed automatic transmission which shares known issues with the Chevrolet Traverse and Blazer. Common complaints include harsh 1-2 upshifts, hesitation between 5-15 mph, lurching on light throttle in stop-and-go traffic, and the transmission hunting between gears on hills. GM has released multiple TCM calibration updates. The transmission is extremely sensitive to fluid condition — extended intervals with aging Dexron HP fluid contribute significantly to shift quality degradation.
Transmission hunting between gears on slight grades
Vibration or shudder during light acceleration
Delayed engagement from Park to Drive
Slip or flare on 2-3 shift under load
How to Fix
TCM recalibration with latest software (multiple revisions released). Full transmission fluid exchange with Dexron HP (ACDelco/GM 19354121) every 45,000 miles. Valve body and solenoid pack replacement (OEM 24043134) if software updates fail. Allow 500+ miles for relearn after any TCM reset.

NHTSA campaign 20V639 covers certain 2020 GMC Acadia vehicles. A plastic burr left in the fuel pump jet nozzle can block the nozzle and reduce fuel delivery to the engine, which can cause an engine stall.
GM issued safety recall 21V422000 (GM number N212335590) covering a small number of 2021 GMC Acadia crossovers built alongside the 2021 Cadillac XT5 and XT6. On the affected Acadias, the fuel supply lines may not have been properly attached and seated during assembly. A line that is not fully seated can loosen or separate in service, allowing gasoline to leak — and leaking fuel near a hot engine bay raises the risk of a fire. The campaign is very small: 572 vehicles across all three models combined, not per model, so most Acadia owners will not be included. Because the defect is a build error rather than a wear item, an affected Acadia can have it from day one regardless of mileage. Owner notification letters went out July 1, 2021.
Common Symptoms
Smell of gasoline in or around the vehicle
Visible fuel leak or wet fuel residue near the fuel supply lines
How to Fix
The repair is free at any GMC dealer. The dealer inspects the fuel supply line connections and replaces the fuel supply lines as necessary to correct the improper attachment. Because only 572 vehicles campaign-wide are involved, check your own VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm whether your Acadia is included rather than assuming. If it is, schedule the inspection promptly and treat any fuel smell as urgent. GMC customer service can be reached at 1-800-462-8782; reference GM recall N212335590.
GM recalled certain 2022 GMC Acadia All-Wheel Drive vehicles because the rollover valve in the fuel tank may not provide a proper seal if the vehicle rolls over in a crash. Only AWD Acadias built in the affected population are covered — front-wheel-drive Acadias are not part of this campaign. The valve is a passive safety device: it is supposed to close off the tank vent path when the vehicle is on its side or roof so gasoline cannot escape. In the recalled vehicles the valve can be dislodged or missing entirely, so it cannot seal. NHTSA lists the defect under the fuel storage tank assembly. Because the part only does its job during a rollover, an Acadia can carry this defect for its whole life without the driver ever seeing a sign of it — the consequence is a fuel leak during a rollover crash and an increased risk of fire.
Common Symptoms
How to Fix
The repair is free at any GMC dealer under recall 22V446000 (GM's internal number N222366070). The dealer inspects the fuel tank and, if the rollover valve is found dislodged or missing, replaces the fuel tank shell. GM mailed owner notification letters on July 27, 2022, so a used-Acadia buyer may never have received one — enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm whether the recall is still open on your vehicle. GMC customer service can be reached at 1-800-462-8782.
First-generation Acadias from 2007 and 2008 that were optioned with the heated wiper washer fluid system are covered by NHTSA recall 08V441000. The heater unit's printed circuit board can short circuit and overheat the control-circuit ground wire. What an owner may experience, per GM, is other electrical features misbehaving, an odor, or smoke — the reason the agency classes this as a fire risk. The 857,735 vehicles listed for this recall are the total for the whole GM campaign, which included several brands.
Common Symptoms
Electrical features malfunctioning
Odor
Smoke
How to Fix
The fix costs nothing at a GMC dealer: installation of a wire harness with an in-line fuse in the affected circuit. GM began the recall on September 12, 2008. Acadias of this vintage have often changed owners more than once, so look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether the remedy is still listed as open before ruling it out.
GMC Acadias from 2007 through 2009 that were equipped with the heated washer fluid system (HWFS) are covered by NHTSA recall 10V240000. What makes this one notable is that it is a second bite at the same defect: GM recalled these vehicles in 2008 to add a fuse to the heated washer module's control circuit harness, intended to contain a printed circuit board electrical short, and thermal incidents were still reported on modules that had received the improvement. NHTSA's consequence language is unambiguous — the heated washer module may ignite and a fire may occur.
Common Symptoms
Burning smell or smoke from the engine compartment
Fire at the heated washer fluid module
How to Fix
Correction is free at a GMC dealer. Instead of another electrical repair, the dealer permanently disables and removes the heated washer fluid module from the Acadia, and provides an updated owner manual page for insertion documenting that the feature has been permanently disabled and removed. The campaign opened June 11, 2010. If the vehicle's records only show the 2008 fuse work, this remedy is still outstanding. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or contact GMC at 1-866-996-9463.
GM bulletin 22-NA-033 covers 2019 GMC Acadia vehicles equipped with IOS, IOU or IOT radios that can reset or reboot and display the GMC splash animation. Bluetooth-call or touch-input symptoms can occur immediately before the reboot.
Have a GMC retailer confirm the radio software version. The bulletin directs a USB radio-software update to version V809 when the installed version is V808 or earlier.
GM bulletin 10251901 covers specified 2017-2019 GMC Acadia vehicles that can intermittently display a Shift-to-Park message even though the transmission selector is in Park.
Common Symptoms
Intermittent Shift-to-Park message while the selector is in Park
How to Fix
Have a GMC retailer reproduce the message and check for DTC B000A. GM bulletin 19-NA-206 directs removal and reinstallation of the transmission control, installation of a shifter harness, and an inline harness jumper; it does not support the frozen door-lock and battery-drain claims.
GM special-coverage bulletin 10248773 covers specified 2007-2011 GMC Acadia vehicles with power-steering pump wear that can intermittently reduce hydraulic pressure and steering assist. Manual steering remains available but requires greater effort, especially at low speeds.
Have a GMC dealer check eligibility for the special coverage and diagnose the hydraulic steering system. The GM procedure flushes the system, replaces the power-steering pump and installs the updated steering-gear valve housing when required.
GM recalled certain 2022 GMC Acadia SUVs because the left-rear suspension toe link may have been tightened improperly during assembly. The toe link is what holds the rear wheel's toe angle in place, and if its fastener was not torqued correctly it can work loose or the link can separate entirely. NHTSA campaign 22V427000 covers this defect under GM's internal recall number N222364330, and it is filed under SUSPENSION:REAR. GM states that a loose toe link can separate and cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. The same campaign also covers the 2022 Cadillac XT5 and XT6, which share the affected assembly work; the units-affected figure was not stated in the recall record.
Common Symptoms
Loose or separated left-rear suspension toe link
Loss of vehicle control
How to Fix
Repair is free at any GMC dealer. The dealer inspects the left-rear suspension and replaces the fastener if it is found loose or missing. Owner notification letters were mailed July 11, 2022. If you own a 2022 Acadia and are not sure whether yours was included or whether the work was already performed, run your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or call GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782 and reference recall N222364330.
The Lambda-platform hub bearing assemblies wear early — owners report failures well under 60,000 miles and, on the rear, repeat failures on the same vehicle. Two distinct symptoms come from one part: mechanical noise (a speed-dependent hum or growl that changes when the vehicle is loaded in a turn) and an ABS fault, because the encoder/tone ring on GM Lambda hubs is magnetically printed onto the bearing's inner race surface. When that magnetic layer degrades or sloughs off, the ABS module gets an implausible wheel speed signal and posts a wheel speed sensor code even though the sensor itself is fine — which is why replacing the sensor does not fix it.
Diagnose by wheel with a chassis ear or stethoscope at each hub with the vehicle raised and unloaded, and confirm with a scan-tool comparison of the four wheel-speed signals at low speed — a hub with a damaged tone ring drops out or reads erratically while the others track. Replace the complete hub/bearing assembly (the bearing is not serviceable separately). Expect the axle shaft splines to be seized in the hub: plan on pressing them apart. Note that some aftermarket hubs ship without the ABS sensor, so buy the correct part number for your ABS configuration and torque the axle nut to spec.
Complete the GM diagnostic procedure before ordering parts. When a stretched timing chain is confirmed, use the applicable GM timing-chain kit. The bulletin says guides, sprockets, actuators and the crank gear should not be replaced automatically unless separately worn or diagnosed.
GM customer-satisfaction bulletin 13079 covers certain 2009-2013 GMC Acadia vehicles with 3.6L High Feature V6 engines (RPO LY7 or LLT) that may experience leakage from the water-pump shaft seal, often after operation with low coolant.
Check the VIN and current eligibility with GMC. Bulletin 13079 directs dealers to verify and correct coolant level with the proper DEX-COOL mixture; it does not establish the frozen claim that the pump is internal or must be combined with timing-chain work.
GMC Acadias from the 2019 and 2020 model years are among the vehicles GM recalled over Continental tires that were cured for too long when they were manufactured. The defect is in the tire itself rather than anything on the Acadia. An over-cured tire can develop a break in the sidewall, which lets the air out suddenly, or it can suffer a belt edge separation and shed its tread. GM's notice states that either condition can cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. The campaign also reached Continental tires sold to the aftermarket for 2018-2021 vehicles, so an Acadia riding on replacement Continentals from that period is worth checking as well.
Common Symptoms
Sudden deflation of a tire
Sidewall break
Tread or belt coming off the tire
Loss of vehicle control
How to Fix
Take the Acadia to a GMC dealer — the inspection and any tire replacement are free. Dealers check the tires against the affected production data and replace what qualifies. Notification to owners started March 22, 2021. To confirm your VIN has no open recall left on it, use nhtsa.gov/recalls; GMC customer service is 1-888-988-7267 and GM's number for this campaign is N212329050.
NHTSA campaign 22V709 covers certain 2020-2021 GMC Acadia vehicles with optional Surround Vision. Improperly crimped rearview-camera coaxial connectors can cause the camera image to fail or work intermittently.
Common Symptoms
Rearview-camera image may fail or become intermittent
How to Fix
Check the VIN and equipment with GMC. Dealers replace the rearview-camera coaxial cables free of charge under GM campaign N222378380.
GMC recalled 2020-2021 Acadia SUVs built with the optional Surround Vision camera package because the coaxial cable connectors feeding the rearview camera may have been crimped improperly at assembly. On an affected Acadia, that bad crimp can interrupt the video signal, so the rearview camera either stops working altogether or cuts in and out. NHTSA's consequence statement is straightforward: an inoperative rearview camera reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle when backing up, which raises the risk of a crash. Only Acadias equipped with Surround Vision fall inside this campaign; the recall covers 95,231 vehicles in total across every model included in it (Acadia plus the Cadillac XT5 and XT6), and that figure is campaign-wide, not an Acadia-specific count. GM's internal number for the recall is N222378380, and owner notification letters went out January 18, 2023.
Common Symptoms
Rearview camera image does not appear when shifting into reverse
Rear camera view works sometimes and drops out other times
Loss of the rear view within the Surround Vision display
How to Fix
The repair is free at any GMC dealer: the dealer replaces the rearview camera coaxial cables that were improperly crimped. Enter your Acadia's VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included and whether the work has already been performed. If you need help, GMC customer service can be reached at 1-800-462-8782; reference recall N222378380 (NHTSA 22V709000).
A very small group of 2017 GMC Acadia SUVs built over a four-day window in April 2016 (April 19 through April 22, 2016) left the plant with front brake calipers whose piston seals were torn or misaligned. A damaged or out-of-position piston seal can let brake fluid leak past the caliper piston. NHTSA recall 16V802000 covers 1,844 vehicles campaign-wide across every model included in the recall, not the Acadia alone. GM's consequence statement is direct: if brake fluid leaks, braking performance may be reduced, which increases the risk of a crash. Because the build window is so narrow, only a VIN check will tell an Acadia owner whether their truck is in the population.
Common Symptoms
Brake fluid leaking from the front brake caliper area
Reduced braking performance
How to Fix
The fix is free at any GMC dealer. Under GM recall number 16096, the dealer inspects the front brake calipers and replaces the brake caliper assemblies as necessary at no cost to you. Owner notification began December 12, 2016, so if you bought the vehicle used you may never have received the letter — enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether the repair is still open on your Acadia. GMC customer service can be reached at 1-800-462-8782. If you notice any brake fluid loss or a change in braking, treat it as urgent rather than waiting for a scheduled appointment.
NHTSA campaign 23V172 covers certain 2023 GMC Acadia vehicles. An incorrect transmission sun gear can allow the driver-side half-shaft to disengage, causing a loss of drive power or a vehicle rollaway while in Park.
Common Symptoms
Possible loss of drive power
Possible rollaway while in Park
How to Fix
Check the VIN with GMC. Dealers replace the sun gears free of charge under GM campaign N222389310. Use the parking brake until the recall repair is completed.
The dual-zone HVAC case uses several small plastic-geared blend/mode door actuators. The gear teeth strip or the door binds, so the actuator hunts for its calibration position and produces a repetitive clicking or ticking from behind the dash or glovebox. The classic complaint is full heat on the driver's side and ice-cold air on the passenger's side (or the reverse), often with the click audible whenever the temperature setting is changed or the ignition is cycled. It is one of the most common non-powertrain complaints on the Acadia across both generations because every part of the actuator drivetrain is plastic.
Repetitive clicking or ticking behind dash or glovebox
Heat on one side, cold air on the other
Temperature does not change when adjusted
Air comes from wrong vents
Clicking stops when HVAC is off
How to Fix
Identify the failed actuator by moving the temperature setpoint and feeling/listening at each actuator — the failed one clicks while the good one is smooth. The passenger blend actuator is reachable from behind the glovebox and is held by three T20 Torx screws; some mode actuators require dropping more of the lower dash. Replace the actuator, then start the vehicle and let the HVAC control module run its self-calibration for roughly 40 seconds without touching the controls. Inspect the blend door shaft for binding or a broken door before installing a new actuator, or the new one will strip too.
