Safety score
25/100
Above-average recall-severity risk Lower recall-severity risk than 25% of vehicles we track.

The GMC Sierra EV scores 25 out of 100 (grade D), a busier recall record than most. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 60% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 100% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.

Those 5 campaigns span 3 model years of the GMC Sierra EV. The single largest affected 5,861 vehicles, over equipment. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Sierra EV problems owners report.

The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the GMC Sierra EV may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
