GM Recalls 2014 Buick, Chevrolet, and GMC SUVs for Fuel Gauge Error

General Motors is recalling 51,640 model year 2014 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles because engine software may cause the fuel gauge to read inaccurately.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect (fuel gauge inaccuracy) could lead to a crash, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured between March 26, 2013, and August 15, 2013. The recall affects 51,640 vehicles in total.

The engine control module (ECM) software in these vehicles may cause the fuel gauge to display inaccurate readings. This defect could result in the vehicle unexpectedly running out of fuel and stalling, which increases the risk of a crash.
