NEW FOR 2008:

- Yukon Hybrid model (interim introduction) with GM's new 2-Mode hybrid system

- Curtain airbags standard on all models

- StabiliTrak and six-speed automatic transmission standard on Yukon XL 2500 models

- 17-inch wheels available on Yukon XL 2500 models

- Standard remote starter and power sunroof on Denali

- Exterior colours: Stealth Gray Metallic and Sonoma Red Metallic (Yukon); Red Jewel Tintcoat and Dark Slate Metallic (Denali)

Completely redesigned in 2007, the GMC Yukon and the upscale Denali model receive tweaking for 2008. The big news is an upcoming Hybrid model, which will use a 6.0-litre V8 with Active Fuel Management, lightweight materials, and GM's new 2-Mode hybrid system, for an estimated fuel economy improvement of up to 25 per cent over the conventional model.

GMC's version of the Chevrolet Suburban, the model line comes as the Yukon, in two- or four-wheel drive; the longer-wheelbase Yukon XL in 1500 and 2500 configuration; and the top-of-the-line Denali, in regular or XL length, with full-time all-wheel drive. Depending on the model, seating ranges from five to nine passengers.

Engine choices in the Yukon are a 5.3-litre V8 with four-speed automatic transmission, or 6.0-litre V8, with six-speed automatic. The 4.8-litre V8 engine offered in 2007 is no longer available. The Denali models exclusively use a 6.2-litre V8 with six-speed automatic.

Features on the Yukon SLE include 17-inch aluminum wheels, tri-zone manual climate control, black assist steps, deep-tinted windows, heated mirrors, roof rack side rails, recovery hooks, variable intermittent wipers, rear washer/wiper, cruise control, floor mats, rear auxiliary heater, tire pressure monitoring system, auto-dimming rear-view mirror with compass and temperature gauge, leather-wrapped tilt wheel with audio controls, 40/20/40 front bench with six-way power driver's adjustment, second-row 60/40 split bench, CD/MP3 stereo, power locks with keyless entry, theft-deterrent system and OnStar.

The SLT adds tri-zone automatic climate control, fog lamps, roof rack cross bars, centre floor console, power-adjustable pedals, garage door opener, six-way power leather bucket seats, six-CD/MP3 stereo with auxiliary jack, second-row audio controls, and rear parking assist.

The Denali adds 18-inch aluminum wheels, power liftgate, power-folding heated mirrors with driver's side auto-dimming, puddle lamps, reverse tip-down and integrated turn signals, power sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, heated washer fluid system, ten-way heated leather seats, third-row 50/50 split-bench removable seat, and XM Satellite Radio.

With its new platform and well-done interior, the Yukon has a comfortable ride, good steering feel and impressive acceleration, although its bulk and fuel economy may be more than many drivers prefer, especially in the city. The upcoming hybrid version is expected to improve considerably on the Yukon's fuel cravings. All Yukon models can be optioned with three rows of seats, but for those consistently hauling a crowd, the longer-wheelbase XL is a better choice to maximize legroom for passengers in the back.

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.

Manufacturer Recall #: N212328760

Units Affected: 9660

Type: Safety Mfr

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.
