Fuel system: filler pipe and cap Chevrolet, GMC recall

The problem

Due to a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank filler pipe, the fuel cap may improperly seal the end of the filler pipe. This fails to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 301, "fuel system integrity." In the event of a collision, an improperly sealed filler pipe could allow fuel spillage.

The fix

The dealer will inspect and replace fuel caps on all affected vehicles without charge.
