What Happened
The fuel pump module in your Cadillac CTS-V or STS-V is the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. In some 2004-2007 models, the electrical connections can overheat and melt the fuel pump's attachment point.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump's attachment point melts, it could create a hole that lets fuel leak out. This could cause your engine to stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, a fuel leak near an ignition source could spark a fire.
Free Fix
Your Cadillac dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump module and fuel tank jumper harness with new, safe parts – at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
