What happened
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened Recall Query RQ26003 on Oct. 9, 2026. Its Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) will assess the adequacy of the scope and remedy for Recall 25V-060.
ODI says it has received 118 complaints alleging detachment of the upper grille deflector on 2022-2024 model year GMC Sierra vehicles. NHTSA's investigation file lists the model as the Sierra 1500.
Of those complaints, 21 allege that the upper grille deflector detached after Recall 25V-060 was performed.
The complaints allege that the deflector detaches while driving, in some cases leading to a cracked windshield or to surrounding vehicles needing to conduct evasive maneuvers.
GM submitted Recall 25V-060 on Feb. 6, 2025, for 2022 model year GMC Sierra vehicles manufactured with a chrome grille deflector. NHTSA lists 70,768 vehicles as potentially affected by that recall.
According to the NHTSA recall record, the attachments that hold the front grille deflectors in place may fracture, resulting in grille detachment. A detached front grille deflector may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Is my car affected?
Recall 25V-060 covers certain 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with chrome front grille deflectors, and dealers will reinforce or repair all attachment points on the deflector free of charge.

To see whether Recall 25V-060 is still open on a specific truck, enter its 17-character VIN on NHTSA.gov or ask a GMC dealer.

Corrections
- : This page showed a "Park outside" badge in error. NHTSA's record for Recall 25V-060 has no park-outside advisory, as the article said. The badge came from our page template, not the source, and has been removed. The page also listed 2023-2024 Sierra trucks under "Vehicles covered" and showed model years 2022-2024 beside the recall's 70,768 units. Recall 25V-060 covers certain 2022 Sierra 1500 trucks with chrome grille deflectors; the 2023-2024 trucks are named only in NHTSA's investigation, now listed separately.
