NHTSA recall 06V289000
Engine And Engine Cooling · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain trucks equipped with an 8.1L v8 (rpo l8-VIN g) engine have a condition in which the engine fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip may fracture resulting in inadequate retention of the damper.
Why it matters: If the damper comes loose, a fuel leak may result. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will replace the engine fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2006.
