I call GMC and they suggested I contact the NHTSA to request that this year and model be added to the…

2024 GMC YUKON

Filed May 28, 2026


I would like to document it took 7 trips to set the monitors after a failed smog check. That is 21 time going from 55 miles a hour to coasting to 20 miles a hour. on a freeway. Three times per trip at 2:00 - 3:00 in the morning. Also my Catalytic Converter went out at 26,000 miles. It should last 70,000 - 100,000 miles or 10 years. Catalytic Convertor was replaced by dealer. Will i have to replace it every 26,000 miles?
