GM Issues Stop-Sale for a Handful of 2026 Chevy Traverse SUVs
The 2026 Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia are also part of the stop-sale, which involves 92 total vehicles due to an undisclosed quality issue.
General Motors has issued a stop-sale order for three of its mid-size SUVs, as reported by GM Authority.
The Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, and GMC Acadia—all 2026 models—are part of the stop-sale, which reportedly involves an undisclosed quality issue.
The stop-sale only involves 92 total GM SUVs, and the automaker expects to resolve the issue by the end of the week.
UPDATED 7/14/25, 6:55 p.m.: A GM spokesperson confirmed the stop-sale order, which only involves 92 total GM mid-size SUVs, including the 2026 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave. While they didn’t provide details about the “quality” issue, they said it’s expected to be resolved by the end of the week.
We don’t know the exact reason that General Motors has reportedly issued a stop-sale order for some of its three-row mid-size SUVs. However, according to a report by GM Authority, there’s a quality-related problem that has led the automaker to pause the sale of certain 2026 Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, and GMC Acadia models.
While details are scarce, GMA claims that the stop-sale notice was part of a dealer bulletin (reference number N252517720) that was posted last week on July 7. Until the undisclosed quality issue is resolved, the vehicles cannot be delivered to customers, traded to other dealers, or used for demonstrations. All three GM models recently entered a new generation, which introduced new designs, powertrains, and technology. The trio is also built alongside each other at the Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan.
Car and Driver has reached out to a GM representative to confirm the stop-sale order. However, we didn’t receive a response by the time of publication. We will update this story with additional information if we learn more.
