Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac fuel pump leak fire risk

NHTSA campaign 18V358000 · Reported 2018-05-31 · General Motors LLC

critical How serious is it? About this label

Serious — a leaking high pressure fuel line can start an engine fire, and although GM does not tell owners to stop driving or park outside, you should schedule the free repair quickly and stop driving if you smell gasoline.

What's wrong, in plain English

The high pressure fuel pump on these vehicles can come loose from the bracket that holds it in place. Once loose, the pump can damage the high pressure fuel line next to it. A damaged line can leak gasoline into the engine compartment, where hot parts can set it on fire. A dealer will replace both the fuel pump and the fuel pipe at no charge to you.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm campaign 18V358000 covers your vehicle.
2. Make an appointment with your dealer to have the fuel pump and fuel pipe replaced free of charge.
