Is P0106 a known problem on GMC vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 70 manufacturer filings and 2 owner reports naming P0106 on 14 GMC model years (2016–2021). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

2020 Sierra 2500HD (14 documents), 2021 Yukon (13 documents), 2021 Sierra (9 documents).

Does P0106 on a GMC mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
