Gas gauge registers empty even after fill-up. I noticed several people have this same problem. Has GMC issued a recall for this problem as I know it will be expensive to fix?

Well, expensive is a relative term. Ususally this issue is the tank sender, but of course you need to test it. The problem is now most tank units also have an expensive fuel pump as part of it and both get changed. This involves tank removal in most cases. This issue is not limited to your type of vehicle.

Gas guage-oxygen sensor?

The oxygen sensor has nothing to do with the fuel gauge. There are two possibilities for the gas gauge error, first it could be the in-tank gas level sensor or it could be a defective stepper motor which drives the gauge. A professional scan tool can determine the fuel level being sent by the in-tank sensor, if that disagrees with the gauge, then the stepper motor needs replacing.

Fuel gauge registers empty after fill up

It sounds to me like you have a short in your wiring harness at you fuel tank. there is a plug on top of your fuel tank that controls you fuel pump and your sending unit that tells you how much fuel is in the tank. This plug can be a real p.i.a to get to on some vehicles, you may have to take the vehicle to a shop to fix it, if you are not mechanically inclined.
