This factory service and repair manual for the 2016 GMC Canyon has a diesel to account for: a turbocharged 2.8L DOHC inline-four joins the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 and 2.5L inline-four, three quite different engines under one set of covers. The truck is documented as a four-door crew cab and a four-door extended cab, in Base, SL, SLE and SLT trim.

Known issues on the 2016 Canyon. Two of the four recalls on this year's record involve the driver's frontal air bag inflating improperly during second-stage deployment in a high-speed crash. A third covers a high-pressure fuel pump that could separate from its mounting flange and damage the fuel line, and the fourth a center console lid latch that might not stay shut in a collision, letting stored items strike an occupant. Owners logged 267 complaints, 177 of them on steering. Restraint, fuel system and steering diagnostics, with their torque specifications and wiring diagrams, are all covered here.
