Chronology :

On August 2, 2022, GM opened a product investigation based on field data that indicated a relatively high rate of warranty returns alleging a loss of propulsion in 2019 model year ChevroleteBay logo Silverado 2500/3500 vehicles.
The investigation was later expanded to include additional model years, all diesel engine vehicle segments, and the GMC Sierra sister vehicle.

Between August 2022 and December 2022, GM analyzed warranty return information and field data claims potentially related to loss of propulsion in the subject vehicles. GM also met with GM internal fuel-system experts and suppliers. GMโ€™s investigation ultimately identified a small segment of diesel vehicles in this investigation populationโ€”vehicles with the dual tank configurationโ€”that appeared to be susceptible to debris blockage on the top of the rear fuel tank. Within this vehicle population, GMโ€™s investigation identified approximately 1,600 tank or fuel pump module damage claims. The first claim was received by GM on June 12, 2017. GM is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with this condition.

On January 26, 2023, GMโ€™s Safety Field Action Decision Authority (SFADA) decided to conduct a safety recall on all 2017 โ€“ 2019 model year ChevroleteBay logo Silverado 2500/3500 and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 diesel trucks with the dual fuel tank configuration.
