What's wrong?
The headlamp electronic module on the 2024 GMC Canyon controls the LED headlight assembly. In normal operation, that module tells the headlamp when to turn on and keeps the light output steady while the truck is moving or parked. The lighting system has to stay consistent so the truck meets the federal lamp standard for headlights and related equipment.
On recalled Canyons, the problem is inside the headlamp software. A software defect in the headlamp electronics can make the headlights flicker instead of holding a steady beam. GM's remedy is a replacement module with corrected software, which addresses the control problem rather than the bulb or lens.
The warning sign is visible headlamp flickering while driving or while the truck is parked. If you notice the light pulsing or cutting in and out, that is the condition tied to NHTSA campaign 24V673.

What's the safety risk?
Headlight flickering reduces visibility and increases the risk of a crash, especially when lighting changes while driving or parking. Treat flickering headlamps as the warning sign: slow down, avoid dark roads when practical, and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised GMC dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 GMC Canyon is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised GMC dealer to schedule the free headlight-module replacement that fixes the flickering headlights.
- Bring the recall notice if GMC mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V673 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. If the headlights flicker, avoid nighttime driving and leave extra following distance.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a GMC technician replaces the headlight module with one that includes the correct software. The recall repair is free now, and parts and labor are covered. Since the covered Canyon vehicles are under warranty, GMC is not offering a separate reimbursement program for this campaign. If you already paid for related headlight work, ask the service desk how the existing warranty applies to your prior repair paperwork.
