NEW FOR 2008:

- Two-mode hybrid model (interim introduction)

- Standard rollover-capable curtain airbags on all models

- Standard remote starter

- 4.8-litre V8 discontinued

- Exterior colours: Blue Granite and Deep Ruby Metallic

All-new in 2007, the Tahoe enters 2008 with a new two-mode hybrid model, which the company says will deliver up to 25 per cent improved fuel economy, and with a 2,721 kg (6,000 lb) towing capacity. The Hybrid will be available later in the model year.

Built on GM's full-size SUV platform, the Tahoe is a "baby brother" to the Suburban. The Tahoe comes with a 5.3-litre V8 with four-speed automatic transmission that can be optioned to an E85 flexible-fuel version on 2WD models, and is the standard engine on 4WD models. The Hybrid uses a 6.0-litre V8 with two-mode hybrid transmission.

Trim lines are the LS and LT, in 2WD or 4WD, and the LTZ, in 4WD only. Three-row seating is optional in the LS and LT, while LTZ models come standard with the third row.

Features on the LS include 17-inch aluminum wheels, tri-zone manual climate control, power locks with keyless entry, automatic headlights, tire pressure monitoring system, trailer package, remote starter, assist steps, privacy glass, heated mirrors, roof rack side rails, variable intermittent wipers, fixed intermittent rear wiper, cruise control, floor mats, driver information centre, auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass and exterior temperature display, leather-wrapped tilt wheel with audio controls, 40/20/40 split bench front seat with six-way power driver's seat, 60/40 split folding rear seat, CD/MP3 stereo with auxiliary jack, and OnStar.

The LT adds one year of OnStar Directions & Communications Plan, fog lamps, roof rack cross bars, centre floor console, front bucket seats with six-way power driver's adjustment, and second-row audio controls with headphone jacks.

The LTZ adds 20-inch polished aluminum wheels, tri-zone automatic climate control, rear parking assist, power liftgate, power-folding heated mirrors with driver's side auto-dimming, integrated turn signals and reverse tilt, power sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, power-adjustable pedals, garage door opener, heated leather seats with ten-way driver and passenger power adjustment, driver's side memory, heated second-row seats, second-row power release fold-and-tumble seats, 50/50 split third-row bench, and six-CD/MP3 stereo with XM Satellite Radio.

Depending on the model, available options include a snowplow prep package, power-retractable assist steps, towing mirrors, rear-view camera system, and rear-seat DVD entertainment package.

Featuring a smooth ride, good handling and exceptional interior quality, the Tahoe is similar to the GMC Yukon and the Cadillac Escalade. The third-row seating has flat cushions and no footwell, which means that adults won't be too happy back there. The third row can be removed to accommodate more cargo, but it must be stored outside the vehicle, and those more likely to haul inanimate objects will probably be better off with the two-row models.

The Hybrid provides all of the comfort and features of its conventional cousins, but with an extra savings in fuel.

Recall Information

Safety recalls issued by the manufacturer and Transport Canada for this vehicle model.

Recall #

Date

System Affected

Model Years

Manufacturer Recall #: N212328780

Units Affected: 101593

Type: Safety Mfr

Details:

Issue: 
Long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. 
Note: For 2009 models listed, this recall only affects vehicles that were imported into Canada, and were originally sold or ever registered in certain areas of the United States that experience high or moderate levels of heat and humidity. 

Safety Risk: 
If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. 

Corrective Action: 
General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the passenger-front airbag. 
Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

Units Affected: 9660

Note: This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

Manufacturer Recall #: N/A

Units Affected: 5327

Type: Service Campaign Mfr

Details:

Issue: 
This recall is for aftermarket replacement rear window glass produced by Vitro Automotriz. Certain rear window glass may not have been properly tempered. If the window breaks, the glass may separate into large pieces instead of very small ones. 
Note: This is a voluntary recall that is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. 

Safety Risk: 
Glass that breaks in to large pieces could create a risk of injury. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify consumers by mail and instruct them to inspect the designation code marked on the rear window glass. Products affected by this recall have the designation “DOT 287” along with the lettering “VMR” (Replacement Market) and a date code that is before July 2019. This information is printed on the bottom corner of the glass. Consumers should contact Vitro's customer service at 1-412-995-6457 or argbacklites@vitro.com to arrange for replacement of the glass.

Manufacturer Recall #: 49151, 49152

Units Affected: 7809

Type: Superseded

Details:

This Safety Improvement Program was replaced by Transport Canada Recall No. 2020-591. 

General Motors Canada is conducting a voluntary Safety Improvement Program involving passenger airbag inflators in vehicles that were originally sold or ever registered in certain areas of the United States that experience high or moderate levels of heat and humidity, and that were subsequently imported into Canada.  Dealers will replace the passenger inflator on affected vehicles. Owners who believe their vehicles may have been originally purchased or registered in the states listed below should contact a General Motors dealer. This action is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Affected states:

American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan),  Virginia and West Virginia.

Manufacturer Recall #: 10153

Units Affected: 99000

Type: Safety Mfr

Details:

On certain vehicles equipped with a Heated Washer Fluid System (HWFS), a short circuit on the printed circuit board for the washer fluid heater may overheat the control-circuit ground wire.  A repair was implemented in a recall in 2008, however, there have been new reports of thermal incidents on heated washer fluid system modules after this improvement was installed.  This situation may cause some minor distortion, but also could lead to melting of the plastic around the heated washer fluid system, or cause a fire.  Correction: Dealers will permanently disable and remove the heated washer fluid module.  An updated page will be provided and inserted in the Owner Manual to document the removal of the feature.
