The short version

General Motors LLC reported a problem with the storage tank assembly. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The fuel-level sensor in the front tank may stick in a low-level position, allowing the rear tank to overfill the front tank.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the front tank overfills, the excess pressure may cause the front tank to expand and contact the driveshaft, possibly resulting in a hole in the tank. The hole will leak fuel, which in the presence of an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will replace the rear-tank fuel-pump module, inspect the front tank and, if necessary, replace the front tank, free of charge.
