Recall for fuel pumps in silverado's and sierra's???


Recommended Posts

I just bought a 2014 GMC Sierra All Terrain and I have had 5 engine lights already.Every light ends up going to the fuel pump. My dealer contacted me a couple days ago and told me that there is an active recall on fuel pumps. Just had mine replaced along with 10 of the other trucks on the dealers lot. Anyone else with this?????

I looked through all the active bulletins, PIs and recalls on GMesi the other day and noticed this one. It does not affect all trucks. It sounded like when on star monitored the vehicle health it could pick up weather or not the truck was having an issue. If so that owner would be notified about the recall. Sorta the same deal for trucks in inventory except I think the dealers had to check those manually and not all would be affected. I do remember that it said only customers with trucks that were affected would get notices of the recall

Interesting, I just logged back into GMesi and the above mentioned recall by CNN is not listed. Here is the recall regarding the faulty fuel pumps

 

#13370: Product Emission-Fuel Pump Pressure Regulator
Replacement - (Jan 6, 2014)


Subject: 13370 – Fuel Pump Pressure Regulator
Replacement


 


Models: 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500


2014 GMC Sierra 1500


Equipped with 4.3L Engine (LV3) or 5.3L Engine (L83)

All vehicles involved in this recall will be loaded into
IVH; however, customers will be notified in phases. Over the next few months,
sold vehicles will be tested remotely using the Vehicle Health Management
program. This will help determine which vehicles require a fuel pump module
replacement. As the vehicles are identified as having a good fuel pump module,
the recall will be closed in IVH and the customer will not receive a letter. If
the vehicle is determined to have a suspect fuel pump module, GM will send the
customer a letter advising them of the recall. This process will occur at
approximately 2 week intervals. If a customer visits your dealership prior to
receiving a letter, dealers are to perform the recall on the vehicle.


 


This process will not be used on vehicles in dealer
inventory and so, dealers are to perform the recall on their inventory vehicles
immediately.


 


Condition


General Motors has decided to conduct a Voluntary Emission
Recall involving certain 2014 model year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra
1500 vehicles, equipped with a 4.3L engine (LV3) or a 5.3L engine (L83). The
fuel pump assembly in these vehicles may have been built with an incorrect fuel
pump pressure regulator. This could cause the illumination of a malfunction
indicator lamp, a hard start condition, engine stumble, or engine stall.


 


Correction


Dealers are to inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel
pump module.


 


Vehicles Involved


All involved vehicles are identified by Vehicle
Identification Number on the Investigate Vehicle History screen in GM Global
Warranty Management system. Dealership service personnel should always check
this site to confirm vehicle involvement prior to beginning any required
inspections and/or repairs. It is important to routinely use this tool to
verify eligibility because not all similar vehicles may be involved regardless
of description or option content.


 


For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved
vehicles containing the complete vehicle identification number, customer name,
and address information has been prepared and will be provided to through the
GM GlobalConnect Recall Reports. Dealers will not have a report available if
they have no involved vehicles currently assigned.


 


The listing may contain customer names and addresses
obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle
registration data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete
this recall is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries.
Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this report to the follow-up
necessary to complete this recall.


 


Parts Information


Parts required to complete this recall are to be obtained
from General Motors Customer Care and Aftersales (GMCC&A). Please refer to
your “involved vehicles listing” before ordering parts. Normal orders should be
placed on a DRO = Daily Replenishment Order. In an emergency situation, parts
should be ordered on a CSO = Customer Special Order.

Well I just had my pump pulled and replaced. It didnt take long at all and had my truck back in a day. The pump made my engine light come on and go off. As of now its been all good. I will update if anything comes up anytime soon. I also had the rear sliding glass window fixed.
