Recall warning: Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon

Chevrolet and GMC have recalled 8,622 new midsize trucks because of the potential for fuel leaks in the event of an accident.

The recalled models include:

Parent company General Motors told federal safety regulators that “the retaining ring that connects the fuel pump to the fuel tank may not have been fully locked during assembly, which could result in a fuel leak in the event of an accident.”

The dealer will correct the problem by checking the fuel tank retaining ring and locking it if necessary.

Many cars are recalled at least once during their lifetime. Some even more often. Manufacturers try to notify owners, but don’t always reach everyone. Find out if your car has ever been recalled at our recall center.
