Common questions

Source: NHTSA files and the OBD-II standard

Is P0606 a known problem on GMC vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 89 manufacturer filings and 1 owner report naming P0606 on 23 GMC model years (2017–2026). 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.

Which GMC models does P0606 appear on most?

2023 Yukon (11 documents), 2022 Yukon (11 documents), 2019 Sierra (8 documents).

Does P0606 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.
