What Happened
Your vehicle's fuel filler pipe, which is the tube that connects the gas tank to the gas cap, may be corroded on the left side if you live in a specific region with high humidity and road salt. This is because water and dirt can get trapped in a protective cover over the pipe.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pipe corrodes badly, there's a risk of fuel leaking out when you fill up, which could then ignite and cause a fire.
Free Fix
You'll be notified by GM, and they'll replace the entire fuel filler neck with a new one at no cost to you. Just contact the Chevrolet or GMC owner center to schedule the fix.
