What this can and cannot tell you: these are complaints owners chose to file, not a failure rate. Popular models accumulate more of them simply by being common. How this is built.
Owners filed 1,186 complaints with NHTSA about the 2021–2025 GMC Yukon, and 189 of them record the mileage at which the failure happened. That is enough to show not just what fails, but when.
Failures are spread across the mileage range, with the middle half between 16,000 and 75,000 miles. The median is 37,000 miles.
The most-reported areas are the engine (40.6% of complaints, typically around 38,000 miles), the transmission and driveline (10.9% of complaints, typically around 42,000 miles), the electrical system (8.9% of complaints, typically around 18,000 miles).
20 recall campaigns cover this generation.
If you arrived asking “is it reliable?” — this page answers the version of that question the data can support: which problems owners reported, and at what mileage.
How many miles does a 2021–2025 GMC Yukon last?
Half of the failure reports on the 2021–2025 GMC Yukon were filed by 37,000 miles and 90% by 100,000 miles — figures drawn from 189 NHTSA complaints that record an odometer reading, so they time reported failures, not the cars whose owners never filed one.
1 report (0.5%) came in past 200,000 miles — each one proof a Yukon reached that mileage, not that it died there.
Before you buy a 2021–2025 Yukon: the 3-minute check
Generated from 189 mileage-tagged complaints, 20 recall campaigns, 3 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 20 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
- Check engine - bearings on 2021–2024 (6.2L L87); investigation extends to adjacent years cars. 6.2L L87 V8 connecting rod and crankshaft main bearing failure. Mechanism per GM's own filing: manufacturing defects including machining sediment left in oil passages and out-of-specification crankshaft/rod components…
- Check engine - valvetrain on 2021–2025 cars. Dynamic Fuel Management lifter failure on the L84/L87, the successor pattern to the earlier AFM lifter problem.
- Check suspension on 2021–2025 cars. Air ride / adaptive damping module and compressor faults on the independent rear suspension models, new to this generation.
- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer, failures on this generation are spread rather than concentrated: the middle half falls between 16,000 and 75,000 miles, with a median of 37,000. There is no single mileage threshold to watch, which means condition and maintenance records are more informative than the odometer.
On inspection, the engine and the transmission and driveline are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The engine in particular shows a median failure mileage of 38,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

Which systems, and when
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 37,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
The engine accounts for 40.6% of complaints (481 reports, 51 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 38,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 21,000 and 82,000 miles.
A single system taking 40.6% of all complaints is a concentration worth noting. It means that for this generation, most of what owners reported came back to one area of the car rather than being distributed across many small faults.
The transmission and driveline accounts for 10.9% of complaints (129 reports, 18 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 42,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 24,000 and 72,000 miles.
The electrical system accounts for 8.9% of complaints (105 reports, 18 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 18,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 6,000 and 46,000 miles.
The engine and its cooling system accounts for 5.5% of complaints (65 reports, 39 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 50,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 26,000 and 87,000 miles.
Differences between model years
Within this generation, complaint volume is not constant across model years. The 2021 model year drew the most — 436 complaints — while 2025 drew the fewest at 75. The median year sits at 237.
The first year of the generation, 2021, sits above the median. That is a common pattern — early production of a redesigned vehicle tends to surface problems that later years do not repeat — and it is worth weighing when choosing between years.
Recalls and what they cover
NHTSA records 20 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
The campaigns cluster around the transmission and driveline (3), the seat belts (3), the hydraulic brake circuit (2). Repeated recalls against the same area of the car generally mean the first remedy did not fully resolve the underlying problem.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.
Reported severity
What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 1,186 complaints against this generation:
- Crashes
- 20 (1.7%)
- Fires
- 0
- Injury reports
- 19
- Fatality reports
- 0
These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
Documented problems
Engine - Bearings 2021–2024 (6.2L L87); investigation extends to adjacent years
6.2L L87 V8 connecting rod and crankshaft main bearing failure. Mechanism per GM's own filing: manufacturing defects including machining sediment left in oil passages and out-of-specification crankshaft/rod components, causing bearing wear, knocking and sudden loss of propulsion. NHTSA recall 25V-274 (April 2025) covered roughly 597,000 2021-2024 Yukon, Yukon XL, Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado 1500, Sierra 1500 and Escalade. NHTSA ODI opened an engineering analysis in October 2025 after 1,157 bearing-failure reports, including 173 on vehicles outside the recall population, and is reviewing whether the recall remedy is effective.
Engine - Valvetrain 2021–2025
Dynamic Fuel Management lifter failure on the L84/L87, the successor pattern to the earlier AFM lifter problem.
Suspension 2021–2025
Air ride / adaptive damping module and compressor faults on the independent rear suspension models, new to this generation.
