Just out of curiosity, I see several comments about 'turning it off' but how does one do this? I don't remember seeing an option on my 2021 Yukon software vehicle settings but maybe I missed it.
I read that recall(s) have a requirement for 60day completion as part of the specifics? Maybe someone can clarify.

4 months would be too long if this is true. Glad they gave you a ride in the meantime :)
My rig's info on https://experience.gm.com/ownercenter/recalls?vin=xxxx has been updated as well (Since July 2 recall procedure performed at GMC dealership) to reflect the 'extra' warranty
Not sure why I get an extra "9" miles over the 150,000 :)
Just on the off-chance.... I've had this happen on my 2021 Yukon a few times but, I believe it was due to pocket clicking of the FOB. Not saying this is you're case but mention it just in case.
I'm no expert but curious - how long (time or miles) was it at 260F? Also, what as the ambient - can you avoid afternoons and tow in morning / night (cooler temps) till you get a solution?
From reading many posts - 260F is not necessarily so hot as being immediately fatal to the transmission...
Update: I see that my GM/online VIN/recall list was updated to include the Engine test after 2 days. We don't plan to sell the rig or anything like that - so glad to put this in the rear view.
Completed the 6.2L recall today on my 2021 Yukon Denali with 62K miles.
One thing I didn't anticipate before taking it in is that if it fails the recall test and the dealer determines you 'need parts' (a.k.a. engine) then you can't get you're car back till they order/install 'the needed parts'...
I added a Curt (trailer brake controller) to my 2021 Yukon because it didn't have the factory 'tow package' and it works very well. This is one of the common brand names and you should be able to find one for you're year/model rig.
We tow a 5500lb camp trailer with our 2021 Yukon 6.2L / 10speed and I 'forget' to put it in tow mode sometimes - will drive 50 or 100miles in regular mode up/down mountain roads. It is a bit different shifting but the rig does not show strain and is the reason I don't notice right away.
Tow...
In my case - 'the first' letter which I got ~Jun 17, 2025. Here's a pic - https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/breaking-gm-is-officially-recalling-the-l87.154084/page-157#post-1978510
It says "schedule inspection as soon as possible" but I think that's just because the tone of this this recall is a serious 'safety issue' if you loose you're engine.
Update: Got the recall letter for my 2021 Yukon 6.2L w/62K miles. Called the local GMC Dealership and after verifying my VIN they scheduled the PICO test this Wed. Didn't seem to be an issue other than they wanted to verify my VIN before agreeing to schedule.
Hanging over our heads.....
Remember it's 3% published failure rate, so say 5%. That's only 1 out of 20 there will be a failure or conversely 19 out of 20 there will not be a problem. One could worry about the engine but still have a transmission failure or flat tire or electronics failure or...
My 2021 6.2L is at 62K miles and no issues. Odds are favoring it's OK and it's a pain to go into the dealer so I'm wondering....
If I wait on going in for the recall, say 6 months or a year or 2 years, is there loss of 'recall replacement option' if it fails while driving? How does this...
Yes sir - it's hard to separate 'recall worries' vs 'regular worries'. Even under normal manufacturing circumstances - things fail. My 2021 6.2L has 62K miles and running fine but 'could fail' as 62K doesn't mean it's OK. Sigh... life is a crap-shoot sometimes :)
Me - I'm just going to...
I can understand the surprise at 4x4 that is not smooth. I've bought a new AWD 2004 Cadillac SRX in 2004 - and enjoyed smooth, AWD all these years - I still have it and drive it. Got used to AWD all the time, all weather, all speeds, all conditions, tight low turns or highway or off-road (a...
Just checked my VIN / recall and the status has changed from a couple of weeks ago . No letter in mail yet but Status has changed from "no recommendation" to "Incomplete"....
A key difference between AGM and Lithium (just because of their chemistries - not done on purpose) is that AGM has a higher resistance to current flow while being charged and 'naturally limits' the current during charge. Whereas a lithium battery naturally allows huge current flow during...
I always forget and switch to tow mode some moments or an hour after I start towing - no issue with doing it on the fly :)
Tow also enables down hill breaking via the engine - works well. I live in mountainous part of the country and always going up or down 6% grades.
Bought my 2021 Yukon...
Yes - I was asking about you're 2022. Appreciate the info. I've been curious because I get the idea that earlier than 2021 - the gear was shown on the DIC all the time and from 2021 onward, the active gear is no longer displayed as far as I can tell. Wasn't sure if somehow you were...
I have a 2021 Yukon but added an aftermarket tow control and tow mode has to be set manually. I assume you have the factory 'tow package'? And in mine, you can't see the gear on the DIC unless you manually activate "L" +/- mode instead of "D". 2022 has full software screen as well I...
My 2021 Yukon 6.2L has 61K - my VIN comes up on the recall with "no remedy yet".
My question.... is an engine with high mileage more likely OK/in-95%-good-group since it's run smoothly this many miles? OR are do the recall defects run a range of 'a little bad - failure at 90K' to 'worst bad...
