What's wrong, in plain English

General Motors is recalling certain Chevrolet Equinox all-wheel drive vehicles. These vehicles have a fuel tank with a seam located near the fuel inlet. On some of these vehicles, that seam may not have been properly sealed when the fuel tank was manufactured. Because the seam was not properly sealed, fuel can leak out of the tank along that seam, rather than staying safely contained inside the tank as it should.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Chevrolet dealer or GM customer service at 1-586-596-1733 to schedule the repair.
3. The fuel tank will be replaced free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 19V667000.
