Yes. Under U.S. law, safety-recall repairs are performed free of charge by franchised GMC dealers, regardless of the vehicle's age, mileage, or warranty status. You should not be charged for parts or labour on an open safety recall.
What should I do if my 2016 GMC Acadia has an open safety recall?
Contact a franchised GMC dealer with your VIN and book the free recall repair. If the recall is marked "Park It" or "Park Outside", follow that guidance immediately. Keep your contact details current with the manufacturer so recall notices reach you.
