Tiles: each year’s median failure mileage. Latest: the 2021; earliest: the 2022, and the 2021 is 1 year older (part of the gap is age). 3 of these years carry fewer than 30 reports with an odometer reading and show no median at all, rather than one computed from a handful.

The short answer

“Is the 2021–2025 GMC Yukon reliable?”

At least 40% of this generation’s complaints came after 2020, so its median likely runs low (why).

Documented problems

What each one is ↓

Owners filed 932 complaints with NHTSA about the 2021–2025 GMC Yukon; the engine leads with 61.3% of them, and half of the 149 that record an odometer reading came by 38,000 miles — complaints, not a failure rate.

No single peak: the middle half runs 17,000 to 73,000 miles.

How many miles does a 2021–2025 GMC Yukon last?

The newest model years (2024–2025) are too young to have reached high mileage; most reports with an odometer reading come from the earlier years of the generation.

On the 2021–2025 GMC Yukon, half of the 149 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 38,000 miles and 90% by 101,000 miles (why that is not a lifespan).

4 reports came in past 150,000 miles and 1 past 200,000 — each one proof that a Yukon reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

Known problems with the 2021–2025 Yukon

Engine - Bearings 2021–2024

Affected: 6.2L L87); investigation extends to adjacent years

6.2L L87 V8 connecting rod and crankshaft main bearing failure. Mechanism per GM's own filing: manufacturing defects including machining sediment left in oil passages and out-of-specification crankshaft/rod components, causing bearing wear, knocking and sudden loss of propulsion. NHTSA recall 25V-274 (April 2025) covered roughly 597,000 2021-2024 Yukon, Yukon XL, Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado 1500, Sierra 1500 and Escalade. NHTSA ODI opened an engineering analysis in October 2025 after 1,157 bearing-failure reports, including 173 on vehicles outside the recall population, and is reviewing whether the recall remedy is effective.

Engine - Valvetrain 2021–2025

Dynamic Fuel Management lifter failure on the L84/L87, the successor pattern to the earlier AFM lifter problem.

Suspension 2021–2025

Air ride / adaptive damping module and compressor faults on the independent rear suspension models, new to this generation.
