FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, 3500, and GMC Sierra 2500, 3500 vehicles equipped with a dual fuel tank option. The rear fuel tank may collapse and prevent the fuel pump from transferring fuel to the front tank, resulting in an engine stall.
- What it can cause
- An engine stall increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and fuel pump module, replacing them as necessary. Dealers will also add a vent hose to the rear tank assembly. Repairs will be performed free of charge. An interim owner notification letter informing owners of the safety risk was mailed on March 15, 2023. Owner notification letters were mailed June 21, 2023. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N222368030.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 22,132 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 84% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
GMC vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel 5 times before this, most recently in December 2014 as 14V820000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 12 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 377 complaints with NHTSA, 215 of them before this campaign was filed. 9 of those name the fuel system, diesel, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in April 2017, 5 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V325000 (air bags), 26V166000 (air bags), 25V432000 (air bags), 24V756000 (air bags).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on February 2, 2023 as campaign 23V047000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
