GM diesel SUVs may have an incorrect fuel tank fitted
General Motors is recalling certain Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon diesel vehicles because the original fuel tank may have been replaced with an incorrect tank that can leak in a rollover.
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: Rubric level 4 covers structural vehicle defects: the wrong tank compromises fuel system containment during a rollover, creating a post-crash fire risk at the moment occupants are most exposed.
