The short answer
From NHTSA’s files, copied Oct 23, 2026.

- Don’t drive it or park it outside: NHTSA’s advice, for one of its recalls (needs attention)

A recall covers the vehicles it names, by build date where NHTSA gives one. Your VIN says which are open on yours.
Is your vehicle in one of these recalls?
No public file says which recalls are still open on one vehicle. NHTSA’s lookup does, from its VIN.
The VIN goes to NHTSA, never to Hearth Record.
What recalls name it?
4 recalls for the 2020 GMC Yukon in NHTSA’s file, newest first. Each covers the vehicles it names; your VIN says if yours is one.

- Which recalls are still open on one vehicle: only NHTSA’s lookup, with its VIN, says that.

- How serious each complaint was, or whether it was confirmed: complaints aren’t findings.
