What Happened
The fuel pump module in your 2004-2007 CTS-V or 2006-2007 STS-V is a crucial part that delivers gasoline to your engine. In some of these models, the electrical connections on this module can get too hot and melt the surrounding material.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flange melts, it could create a hole that lets fuel leak out, causing your vehicle to stall. This could lead to a crash, and if there's an open flame nearby, it could also cause a fire.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty fuel module and the fuel tank jumper harness at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
