What's wrong, in plain English

Some of these SUVs have fuel tanks where the glue between two layers of the tank shell may be missing. This can let fuel leak out of the tank. If that fuel leak happens near something that could ignite it, it raises the chance of a fire.

What you should do

Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included.
Contact a Chevrolet dealer (1-800-222-1020) or GMC dealer (1-800-462-8782) to schedule the fix.
The fuel tank will be replaced for free.

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 21V064000.
