  • says it came back8
  • says it did not fix it6
  • result not stated4

A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

      What the documents say to do

      Crankshaft position sensor may work intermittently or fail (8.1L V8) - recall 07V-521

      Repair

      1. Dealers replace the crankshaft position sensor.
      2. As the remedy, an improved CKP is installed.

      Caution

      • All of the surveyed consumers noted multiple stalling events before the CKP was properly diagnosed and replaced.
    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    On certain vehicles equipped with an 8.1L engine, the crankshaft position sensor may fail. If the sensor operates intermittently, the Service Engine Soon (SES) light may illuminate and the vehicle may run rough. In addition, the engine may stall, and if so, may re-start immediately or after a cool-down period. If the sensor becomes inoperable permanently, the engine will quit running and will not re-start. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the crankshaft position sensor.

Known issuesEngine fuel rail crossover tube retainer screws may break (5.3L RPO L59) - recall 04V-3762

  1. Recall2005 GMC YUKON XL ・ 2004-02-08

    Engine Fuel Rail Crossover Tube Retainer Screws

    1. 1Fault

      • The engine fuel rail crossover tube retainer screws were not made to specification and may break; if one breaks, fuel could leak from the crossover joint, the engine may stall, and with an ignition source an engine compartment fire could occur.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • The failed screw was harder than specification; the over-hardening came from a conveyor in an induction hardening operation at the fastener plant stopping or slowing excessively, exposing the screws to the hardening for too long.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      • Inspect for blue or green paint dots on the fuel rail crossover tube assembly or on the throttle body; if there are any, go to step 13.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. Hold the fuel crossover tube retainer to the bracket on the fuel rail with locking pliers, using enough force to keep the retainer from moving without damaging any parts.
      2. Remove the fuel rail crossover tube bracket retainer screw on one side and dispose of it properly.
      3. Take the new screws out of the retainer kit (P/N 89017590) and discard the retainer brackets left in the kit.
      4. Start the new screw by hand for at least 3 full turns into the fuel rail crossover tube retainer bracket.
      5. Torque the screw to 4.8Nm (42 lb in).

Known issuesFuel module reservoir assembly: fuel pump wire connectors may overheat - recall 05V-1551

  1. Recall2000–2001 GMC YUKON XL ・ —

    Fuel Module Reservoir Assembly Overheating Recall

    1. 1Fault

      • Some vehicles were built with fuel module reservoir assemblies whose fuel pump wires and/or connectors may overheat under certain operating conditions.
      • If the exposed ignition circuit wire shorts to ground, the fuel pump fuse blows, disabling the fuel pump and causing an engine stall or no-start; if the ignition circuit or ground wire shorts to the fuel level sender card wires, fuel level readings may be inaccurate.
      • If enough heat reaches the pass-through connector, a hole may form in it, which may turn on the Service Engine Soon light during the emission system diagnostics routine; fuel vapor, and in some cases liquid fuel, may leak from the tank through the hole.
      • If enough fuel leaked out and an ignition source were present, a vehicle fire could occur.

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Fretting corrosion caused by vibration inside the tank was identified as the cause of high resistance within the fuel pump connector.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. Dealers remove the fuel tank, remove the fuel module reservoir assembly and install a new service kit, which includes a new pass-through connector and a wiring harness for the fuel pump and fuel sender card.
      2. Start by disconnecting the negative battery cable, then remove and discard the "ECM B" fuse.
      3. In the revised bulletin, the fuel and EVAP pipes are capped with J 41413-300, EVAP Cap/Plug Kit, to prevent fuel system contamination.
      4. Remove the 4 pin Metri Pack 150 electrical connector from the vehicle's body harness.
      5. Connect the new GT280 connector to the vehicle's body harness with the 4 butt splice connectors contained in the kit.

    Cause
    CERTAIN TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH FUEL MODULE RESERVOIR ASSEMBLIES THAT CONTAIN FUEL PUMP WIRES CONNECTORS MAY OVERHEAT UNDER CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS.
    Remedy
    DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE FUEL TANK, AND REMOVE THE MODULE RESERVOIR ASSEMBLIES FROM THE TANK, AND INSTALL A NEW SERVICE KIT FREE OF CHARGE. AN INTERIM LETTER TO OWNERS WAS MAILED ON MAY 25, 2005. THE OWNERS WERE RE-NOTIFIED ON OCTOBER 19, 2005, SINCE PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 AND GMC AT 1-866-996-9463.
    Consequence
    IF THE IGNITION CIRCUIT WIRE IS EXPOSED, THE FUEL PUMP FUSE WILL BLOW, DISABLING THE FUEL PUMP AND CAUSING AN ENGINE STALL OR NO-START CONDITION. IF SUFFICIENT HEAT IS CONDUCTED TO THE PASS-THROUGH CONNECTOR, A HOLE IN THE CONNECTOR MAY RESULT, WHICH MAY CAUSE A 'SERVICE ENGINE SOON' LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED DURING THE EMISSION SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINE. FUEL VAPOR AND IN SOME CASES LIQUID FUEL MAY LEAK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE CONNECTOR BODY. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. ALSO IF THE IGNITION CIRCUIT OR GROUND WIRE IS EXPOSED AND SHORTS TO THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER CARD WIRES, INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS MAY RESULT.

    Remedy
    This Preliminary information communicates the use of Winter grade fuel during the warm months of 2020 and the potential rivability issues that it can cause. The ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused significant reductions in driving and fuel use.  Due to the surplus of winter grade fuel sitting in storage (pipelines/stations) the EPA is waiving the fuel vapor requirement.  This will extend the use of winter fuel into the summer months. The drivability concerns should not be single events but should be multiple occurrences associated with hot days.

    Fuel Module Reservoir Assembly Overheating Recall

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

    3. 3Correction

      Not stated

    Read the sentences of the record
    Cause
    Certain vehicles were built with fuel module reservoir assemblies that contain fuel pump wires and/or connectors that may overheat under certain operating conditions. Fuel pump wires that overheat may become exposed and result in one or more conditions; 1) If the ignition circuit wire is exposed and shorts to ground, the fuel pump fuse will blow, disabling the fuel pump and causing an engine stall or no-start condition. 2) If sufficient heat is conducted to the pass-through connector, a hole in the connector may result, which may cause the Service Engine Soon light to be illuminated during the emission system diagnostics routine. Fuel vapour (and in some limited cases liquid fuel) may leak out of the fuel tank through the hole in the connector body. 3) If the ignition circuit or ground wire is exposed and shorts to the fuel level sender card wires, inaccurate fuel level readings may result. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
