GMC is recalling 1,120 Canyon AT4X AEV pickups over airbags that could deploy with excessive force—a safety issue that affects the off-road focused variant. The recall covers a specific production window and requires dealer service to recalibrate or replace affected units. If you own one of these, check your VIN against the NHTSA database.

Turntide Technologies is strapping its axial-flux motor tech into the Sierra Echo-S for KOH 2026, which means someone finally thinks electrification belongs in high-speed desert racing instead of just mall parking lots. The motor's compact, efficient design is purpose-built for the kind of sustained punishment that separates proof-of-concept from actual engineering. This isn't marketing theater—it's a real test against machines that have spent decades proving themselves in Hammers dust.

This isn't a mall crawler. A 2001 S10 crew cab got a proper solid-axle swap, Dana 44 gears, and 37-inch rubber—and it still works as a daily. The builder did it lean, which means the person who buys it won't be underwater before the first trail run.
