A model year is listed because the code is named in its own record — a bulletin filed against it, or an owner’s complaint about it — not because every one of these vehicles sets it. Counts are documents in NHTSA’s files, not failure rates.

Bulletins and campaigns GMC filed with NHTSA whose summary names B395A. Quote the document number at the service desk — it is a diagnosis the maker has already written down.

What B395A means

Source: SAE J2012 / OBD-II

B395A is a manufacturer-specific code: the second character is a 3, which under the OBD-II standard hands the definition to whoever built the vehicle. The same code can mean one thing on a Ford and something unrelated on a Hyundai. Any site that prints a single definition for it is guessing.

A stored code names the test that failed, never the part that caused it. The record above is what GMC and its owners have filed about it; the code’s page across every make has the whole file.

Does B395A on a GMC mean it is recalled?
