What's wrong?

The exhaust system on the 2014-2015 Yukon, Sierra, Escalade, Silverado, and Sierra 1500 carries hot exhaust gases away from the engine and through the emissions system. On these vehicles, the recall involves the engine and exhaust system on models equipped with a 4.3L engine or 5.3L engine. The system has to move heat and exhaust flow without forcing the engine into a protective reduced-power mode.

The provided recall summary does not name a single failed part or give a separate root-cause explanation. What it does identify is an exhaust-system related defect tied to the affected engines. When the problem occurs, the vehicle responds by limiting engine power, which is meant to protect the engine and exhaust system from further trouble.

Owners should see clear warning signs before the vehicle enters reduced power. The yellow Check Engine light will turn on, and the Driver Information Center will show "Engine Power is Reduced."

Who's affected?

Includes pickups and SUVs across the 2014 and 2015 model years, all involving the exhaust system.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.

What's the safety risk?

Overheated exhaust components can melt nearby plastic parts and lead to an engine fire. If the yellow Check Engine light comes on with the "Engine Power is Reduced" message, pull over safely and call a GMC dealer for guidance. Repair is free at any franchised GMC dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2015 GMC Yukon, Sierra, Escalade, Silverado, or Sierra 1500 is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised GMC dealer to schedule the free engine-control-module reprogramming for the exhaust-overheating fire risk.
  3. Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 14V007 when you call.
  4. Ask the dealer whether the vehicle is safe to drive until the software update is complete.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a GMC technician reprograms the engine control module with updated software. The software update and labor are free under the recall. The recall repair has been open since January 16, 2014, so a franchised GMC dealer can perform the update if your VIN is included. General Motors has a reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for this recall-related repair. Bring repair invoices or payment documentation to the service desk and ask how to submit the claim.
