'22 Denali shipped without Steering wheel lock and 4-way lumbar

[Dewally]

Every Denali that was delivered to my dealer and another dealer was credited $50 for no steering wheel lock and $50 for no four-way lumber.

How many others has this happened too? My dealer didn't address this with me. The other dealer is telling people they will have the chips in a few months and call their customers back to make the upgrades. I am asking everyone here that this has happened to, what were you told, if anything?

Mine is still at 1100 status, but I was told by my dealer when I ordered it that it would not have a steering wheel lock, and only 2 way lumbar. When I built mine out on GMC's website, these notes showed up:

• Beginning with production starting on November 1, 2021, vehicles will not be equipped with 4-way driver and front passenger power lumbar, and will be equipped with 2-way driver and front passenger power lumbar.
• Beginning with start of regular production, October 2021, vehicles not be equipped with Steering Column Lock.

I am assuming since there is no end date, they won't be available. The heated steering wheel, and there was one other option I was told would not come operable with the vehicle, but would be retrofitted sometime in Q4 with a chip to make them operable.

Mine was ordered on Dec 6, same lack of steering column lock and lumbar. Way better off than what’s going on now with the lack of heated seats, parking sensors, etc

No steering wheel lock and 2-way instead of 4-way lumbar aren't eligible for retrofit. I believe only heated steering wheel, heated seats, and potentially the parking sensors are eligible for retrofit at a later point.

Just spoke with my dealer and he said that from the list of things being credited on the current Build-a-Yukon webpage, the only item that would be retrofitted from that list is the park assist, so no lumbar, no steering wheel lock, no console, etc.

Time to wait for a 2023 for these features to come back.

As someone who just purchased, I can confirm that Park Assist is a retro fit but will not have steering lock, console or lumbar.

I took delivery of my ’22 Denali a week ago, it surprisingly has the sliding console but no parking sensors, steering lock and has 2 way lumbar. Unfortunately it has the auto start/stop that I was hoping would still be omitted.

 

[Dewally]

Interesting to read the replies. Many thanks. Would adding the additional two way lumbar to complete the four-way lumbar be feasible at a later date? Or is it too involved?

Probably too early for someone to have already dug into this.

My guess is that it would require replacing the seats as the more time expedient method.

My '22 Denali did not come with the steering wheel lock or 4 way lumbar (just 2 way). But that was noted on the build sheet and sticker. Pretty much all of them are showing up without these features amongst others. Not game changers in my opinion, I don't even notice they are missing and haven't had to say to myself "gee I really wish my steering wheel would lock after I shut the car off" lol. Mine showed up with everything else (heated/cooled seats, power console, parking sensors, etc.).

What I do find funny is the $50 credit for said missing parts. I asked the dealer when they become available if I could bring the truck back in and spend $100 to have those options added back onto the truck and of course we both laughed (him mostly at me and me mostly at the fact that I knew this was going to be the obvious response lol).

I installed the AutoStop Eliminator. Remove two panels, remove one screw, and then pull the panel with the AutoStop on it. A three minute installation. Highly recommend.

Maybe they will start shipping vehicles without engines or manual windows soon haha.

Did the early 2021's ever have the steering wheel lock?
