Park assist Retro. Yukon

[Billy Ray]

Does anybody have any info. on what I need to do or what happens for the 4th qtr. retrofit for the park assist on my 2022 Yukon. Thanks for any info. You can give me or what maybe happened in your case.

 

[Crzylgs]

I am interested in this as well for my 2022 Tahoe.

I was told that we will be getting notices, similar to recalls directly from GMC. We would then contact a dealer to arrange for repairs.
Oh. and 4th quarter....good luck!!

 

[FatBob]

I am waiting too. My salesman said he has not heard anything.

FWIW, my Yukon already has the park assist, came with the vehicle.
But...my wife got a new '21 Cadillac XT4 last winter without park assist...retrofit contract. When we set up her appt to get the heated seat retorfit done last week I asked about the park assist as well.

Just got a call back from the parts dept yesterday saying the park assist retrofit was pushed out to Q1 2023 (Q1 means the END of Q1 in my 35 years of automotive experience). So I would assume Yukons should be the same but if Caddi dealership has this info, GMC dealers should too...call your dealer and ask!

Sorry for the late reply. I appreciate your post and it makes me think now maybe mine will get done by the time its a year, old mid April 2023.
Thanks again and good luck with yours

Has anyone received the recall letter from GM that says your parts for retrofit for your heated ventilated seats, parking assist are available.
I keep asking my dealer and they say soon and they're doing them all the time. I think they are just telling me BS.

My 22 Yukon SLT had two items on the sticker for later retrofit, heated steering wheel and rear park assist. Unless I am missing something the rear park assist starts beeping and the seat vibrates at different intensities the closer you get to an object while backing up? Mine does exactly that already so I must already have the rear park assist?
Thanks

Heres a description of rear park assist.

About Rear Park Assist | Vehicle Support | GMC

<p>There are many benefits that come with rear park assist such as helpful distance alerts that will help you to avoid collisions when in reverse.</p>

www.gmc.com

On my other GMC vehicles the parking sensors would show on the MID/DIC when you're approaching an object when parking like a pole, or a wall, garage, etc.

On my '22 Denali, My sticker says:

NOT EQUIPPED W/ -50.00
FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST/
REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING;
INCLUDES LATER RETROFIT

 

[genestoy]

Yep,
Mine says...
CREDIT - NOT EQUIPPED W/ -50.00
FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST;
INCLUDES LATER RETROFIT

Also mine was into the dealer yesterday and I asked about this and they have heard nothing about these two retrofits, but were getting some of the heated seats retrofits

 

[PaulGA]

Right now, my rear cross traffic/pedestrian detection works but not the parking sensors.

I don't think any of us have heard from GMC/Chevy regarding this retro, and my local dealership is oblivious how the retro process even works.

 

[genestoy]

Well it looks like what I have is the rear cross traffic/pedestrian detection system and not the park assist. I now recall what my 2015 Yukon had was the dic with the curved colored lines when pulling in the garage which I don;t have now so that is what is missing.
Looks like GM could care less whether we ever get these promised "Retrofit" items!

 

[Crabby]

I received this letter from GM about two weeks ago. I'm waiting for retrofit for heated seats and parking assist.
Called the dealer and they said they can do the seats but not the park assist as of now. They have the parts for the front seats but not the rear
and won't schedule an appointment until they have all the parts. I asked about the parking assist and they don't know when the parts will be
available. Anyone else get a letter like this and if so how long did it take to get it done?

I would like to know if the Park Assist Module is the component that is involved in making the retrofit work. If so, do the vehicles involved have a PA Module without a certain chip or is the PA Module absent from the vehicles. Would the retrofit involve adding a chip/board to the existing module or replacing entire module? Where on the vehicle is this Module located?
update:
I've located the Park Assist Module in the rear area of the Right Quarter panel. It is visible thru the grille opening of the trim panel. There is white insulation/sound proofing sheet hanging over the grille opening which can be lifted up by inserting a thin screw driver thru the grille opening. Module has a part number on it of 86822914. Dealer service advisor is telling me they have no info of when/or how this retrofit program will happen. I presume when available, working modules will eventually be sent to dealers and owners will be notified or perhaps the opposite that notices may be sent to owners who in turn contact dealers to set up retro fit similar to recall process.

 

[Crabby]

That's a good question! As of now they don't have the parts for the park assist.
I'm taking mine in on the 27th for the heated seats and I'll try to talk to a tech
to see what's involved. I know that doesn't help you now but I need to know anyway.

It’s funny how they say subtract $50 for the rear parking sensors or $150 for the heated/vented seats.

It’s funny how they say subtract $50 for the rear parking sensors or $150 for the heated/vented seats.

They do that for legal reasons. They gave you “consideration” in the form of monetary gain; and you gave them agreement for a “later retrofit.” Therefore, you can’t sue; because it’s a contract.

Well, of course you can sue but you won’t win.

When I go to my dealer to check they don’t know anything or any estimate of when. I have called GMC customer Service and they don’t have any estimate but was able to confirm that my Yukon is on the list and promised me they would definitely let me know with a recall letter. Sill I received my Yukon on April 10th 2022 and almost at 1 year. Customer Service did tell me I can check with them every week if I would like. Good luck with yours I will keep posted

I took delivery in March 2022 of my Yukon SLT and about a week ago received a folder/letter that said they were giving me 12,500 reward points and 6 months free Onstar for the "inconvenience" suffered by the shortage of parts to get my park assist and heated steering wheel retrofitted. But no time frame when and if the items will be done.

Did GM do this "out of the blue" or had you been asking when you would get the retro fits?
It's been nine months and I am still waiting for retro fit.
