FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Safety Recalls

Critical #07V349000 Plain English
Component

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE

Manufacturer
GENERAL MOTORS CORP.
What Happened
The fuel tank inlet check valve in your vehicle is a small part that helps control the flow of gasoline into your tank. In some cases, it might break due to manufacturing issues or extremely high temperatures.
Risk if Unfixed
If the valve breaks, it could cause fuel vapors to leak out and create a fire hazard if an ignition source is present. This could lead to a fire, especially in vehicles driven in hot climates like Arizona or Hawaii.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the entire fuel tank with a new one, free of charge. You'll receive a letter with instructions on how to schedule the repair, and you should bring it in as soon as possible.
