THERE ARE TWO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. ONE SMALL HAIRLINE BY THE SPEAKER AND ONE BIG ONE BY THE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT HAPPENED.
Common questions
How serious is the body problem on the 2012 gmc Yukon?
It's a documented issue but not catastrophic. 23 complaints have been filed. Repairs average $1,500 and most owners catch it before it causes a breakdown.
At what mileage does the body typically fail?
Mileage data is limited for this issue. Owners report failures across a wide range, suggesting cause is more about driving conditions and maintenance than mileage alone.
What does it cost to fix?
Independent shops typically charge around $1,500 for body repairs on this vehicle. Dealer pricing tends to run 20-40% higher. The exact figure depends on the specific failure mode, parts availability, and your local labor rates. If you're outside factory warranty, an extended service contract often covers this category.
Are there any recalls related to body?
No active recalls currently cover body issues on this vehicle. The complaints filed represent owner-reported failures that haven't risen to the level of a manufacturer-issued recall — but they're still worth knowing about before you buy or budget for repairs.
