The 2018 Yukon has been at the dealership several timeswaiting for a valve body for the transmission. There are valve body recalls for other year GM vehicles with the same transmission, but not for the 2018 model even though it appears to be the same part number. I donât understand how this 2018 model apart of the recalls when itâs got the same issues as the newer ones. This is the second Yukon Iâve bought in the last seven years and the other one had the exact same issue.
