History Behind the Recall

General Motors (GM) has issued a new safety recall affecting a small number of its full-size SUVs after identifying a potential fuel leak hazard. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue involves replacement fuel tanks that may have been incorrectly installed, increasing the risk of a fuel leak during a rollover crash.

The recall, filed under NHTSA Campaign Number 25V619000, applies to only 12 vehicles, but because the defect could lead to a fire if fuel escapes near an ignition source, the recall has been classified as a safety-critical issue.

Which Vehicles Are Affected?

The affected vehicles include:

  • 2021 Cadillac Escalade
  • 2021, 2023–2024 Chevrolet Tahoe
  • 2022 and 2024 GMC Yukon

All recalled models are equipped with GM’s 6-cylinder diesel engine, and in each case, an incorrect replacement fuel tank may have been installed during prior service work.

What Owners Need to Do Next

GM dealers will inspect the vehicles to verify the correct fuel tank and replace it if necessary, free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on November 3, 2025, and the affected VINs became searchable on NHTSA.gov as of September 18, 2025.
