TI Automotive is recalling aftermarket fuel pumps for Saab, Cadillac, and Chevrolet vehicles because they may seize and cause the engine to stall.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel pump seizure) that creates a stalling condition, which the source text explicitly states could result in a vehicle crash.
Plain-English summary
TI Group Automotive Systems, LLC is recalling certain aftermarket and replacement fuel pumps, part numbers TU456 and TU303, sold under various brand names. These parts are intended for Saab 9-3 (2003-2011), Cadillac XLR (2004-2009), and Chevrolet Malibu (2004-2007) vehicles. This recall does not pertain to original equipment installed by General Motors.
The defective fuel pump may seize, which stops fuel flow to the engine and creates a stalling condition. If the engine stalls while the vehicle is in use, a vehicle crash could occur.
TI Automotive will notify owners of record and replace any defective fuel pump with a new or reworked unit free of charge. The safety recall began on February 22, 2011. Owners may contact TI Automotive at 1-866-867-3759 or visit www.recallresponse.com for more information.
