What's wrong, in plain English

Certain Silverado and Sierra trucks with the dual fuel tank option can have a rear fuel tank that collapses. When this happens, the tank can prevent the fuel pump from moving fuel from the rear tank to the front tank, which can cause the engine to stall while driving.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Chevrolet dealer at 1-800-222-1020 or a GMC dealer at 1-800-462-8782 for an inspection.
3. The fuel tank, fuel pump, and a vent hose will be repaired or 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 23V047000.
