NHTSA recall 17V664000
Fuel System, Gasoline · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with dual Fuel tanks. The low fuel level sensor for the front tank may stick causing the rear tank to overfill the front tank.
Why it matters: If the front tank overfills, the excess pressure may cause the front tank to expand and contact the driveshaft, possibly resulting in a hole in the tank. The hole will leak fuel, which in the presence of an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix: Gm has notified owners, and dealers will replace the rear tank fuel pump or update the fuel-level sensor software, as well as inspect the front tank, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2017.
