What's wrong, in plain English

The fuel pump in these GM trucks and SUVs may be missing a part called a pressure regulator. Without it, the fuel system can build up too much pressure. This extra pressure can crack the fuel pump, allowing fuel to leak out. If that leaked fuel comes near something that can ignite it, it raises the chance of a fire starting in the vehicle.

What you should do

3. The fuel pump replacement will be done free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
