- Problem
- General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Chevrolet Silverado HD, Chevrolet Express, and GMC Sierra HD vehicles, and model year 2013 GMC Savana compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles that fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 303 "Fuel System Integrity of Compressed Natural Gas Vehicles." In the affected vehicles, the text of the CNG fuel-only label is smaller than the required size, and as a result, may be less noticeable.
- Risk
- Text that does not conform to the required labeling size could inhibit fuel tank inspection practices and safe refueling, increasing the risk of a fire.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners and will send them a replacement label, free of charge. The recall began December 3, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 13365.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain 2013-2014 Chevrolet Silverado HD, Chevrolet Express, and GMC Sierra HD vehicles, plus 2013 GMC Savana compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, have a CNG fuel-only label with text smaller than federal safety standards require. The label is therefore less noticeable than it should be.
The smaller text could make it harder for inspectors and drivers to notice the fuel-only warning during fuel tank inspections and refueling. That increases the risk of a fire.
GM will notify owners and mail a replacement label at no charge. You can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, referencing GM recall number 13365. You should also check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
