Fuel system Vehicle recall #19V837000 · 2019 · 502 vehicles
What's wrong: The fuel pump May be missing a pressure regulator, allowing for over-pressurization of the fuel system.
Why it matters: Over-pressurization can crack the fuel pump and cause leaks, increasing the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source.
The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump, free of charge. The recall began December 18, 2019.
Tires Vehicle recall #21V115000 · 2021 · 33,838 vehicles
What's wrong: The affected tires were cured for too long during production.
Why it matters: Over cured tires May develop a break in the sidewall resulting in sudden air loss or a belt edge separation which could lead to a tread/belt loss. Either condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tires, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 22, 2021.
