Chronology :

GM opened an investigation into this condition on July 13, 2021 after a preliminary review of warranty data from certain 2021 GM full-size SUVs identified a higher-than-expected rate of fuel pump control module replacements for certain vehicle build months.

As part of this investigation, GM reviewed an analysis of returned parts that were replaced in warranty. This indicated the condition was caused by a manufacturing issue at the Tier 3 supplier, Vitesco, which was resolved with respect to parts manufactured by Vitesco after June 23, 2020.

After reviewing the field data, GM determined there were 617 potentially relevant complaints, which were received between April 15, 2020 and August 24, 2021. 229 of these complaints reported a stall while standing or moving. No accidents or injuries associated with this condition were found.

The case was first reviewed by GMโ€™s Open Investigation Review board on September 13, 2021 and returned for a second review on September 15, 2021 with further analysis of warranty claim stall conditions. On September 16, 2021, GMโ€™s Safety and Field Action Decision Authority decided to conduct a safety recall.
