Chevrolet Colorado fuel pump lock ring may leak fuel in crash
General Motors is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles because the lock ring securing the fuel pump may not have been fully locked, allowing a fuel leak during a crash.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 4 covers structural vehicle defects: an unsecured fuel tank lock ring compromises fuel system containment during a crash, creating a post-crash fire risk at the moment occupants are most exposed.
