Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:FLUID/LUBRICANT:VALVES/VALVE BODY filed September 19, 2025

NHTSA complaint #2132069 (ODI reference 11688466) concerns a 2023 GMC YUKON and was filed on September 19, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 10, 2025. The vehicle had 33,395 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Montana based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:automatic transmission:fluid/lubricant:valves/valve body, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same GMC YUKON cohort independently describe similar power train:automatic transmission:fluid/lubricant:valves/valve body failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2023 GMC YUKON shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
