Transport Canada carries this recall as 2024679, dated 7 November 2024. The American register carries the same defect as campaign 24V839, dated 7 November 2024. They are the same defect because the manufacturer filed both under one internal campaign code, N242471620.

Both registers carry the same date for this defect.

These are the dates each register records against its own notice. They are separate administrative acts in two countries, recorded by two authorities under two sets of rules, and this page does not claim that one caused the other or that owners in either country were contacted on those days. What it shows is that the same manufacturer campaign reached the two registers on different dates.

Read the American notice 24V839, including every earlier version of its wording this site holds. The Canadian register explains why the manufacturer code is published there and what that makes possible. Canada and America sets every matched pair side by side.

GMC SAVANA in the other registers

This site holds seven national and European registers. GMC SAVANA is named on 18 American notices and 4 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

The Israeli register

Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Issue:
Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause the transmission control module not to work correctly. As a result, there could be reduced power to the wheels, the transmission could shift harshly and/or the rear wheels could lock up. Additionally, at low speeds, this problem could cause the vehicle to move in an unintended direction.
Note: This recall only affects vehicles with certain engine and transmission combinations.

Safety Risk:
Rear wheels that lock suddenly could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a vehicle that moves in the unintended direction could also increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:
General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the transmission control module software.

The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2024679.

Reading this against the source

This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.

This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the GMC Savana, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.

This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a GMC: 561 in the register, and 672 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2024.
