I HAVE A SHORT IN MY FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE. IT CAUSES MY CAR TO STALL WHILE WHILE IN OPERATION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T START, ETC. THIS ISSUE HAS HAUNTED ME FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. I FOUND A RECALL BULLETIN FROM GM; #14515B. THIS IS THE EXACT PART # AND ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING BUT MY VIN # ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MY VIN WAS MISSED?
MY MODULE FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL PART# 20759945 IS NOT WORKING AND FOR SOME REASON IT IS RECALLED FOR SOME VINS FOR 2008 BUT NOT MINE. IF IT IS THE SAME PART AND SAME PROBLEM WHY IS NOT RECALLED FOR ALL? CHEVY HAS A TSB #14515B BUT COMPANY WILL ONLY SAY ENGINEERS DECIDE WHO GETS THE RECALL. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED BY GENERAL MOTORS, BULLETIN NUMBER: 14515B (CHASSIS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE INTERNAL CONTAMINATION), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172,000.
THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE LOST MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I MANAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY AND HAD IT TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE DIE OUT WAS FOUND TO BE AN INTERNAL FAULT IN THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE.

2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500, AIRBAG SENSOR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH OUT ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT. WE CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD US TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. WE TOOK TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM NEW. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND IT CAME BACK EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SENSOR AND INFLATABLE RESTRAINT FRONT SENSOR WERE BAD. AS A SAFETY/EMISSIONS PROBLEM IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY GAVE US A $600 BILL IN WHICH WE MADE THEM CALL THE GM REPRESENTATIVE. THEY THEN HAD US PAY $250. 2 1/2 YEARS LATER AND AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT IS BACK ON WITHOUT ACCIDENT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG COMPLAINT WITH THIS YEAR TRUCK. IT SEEMS THAT IF THE SENSOR IS NOT WORKING AND MY FAMILY WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY AND WE COULD BE HURT OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE AIR BAG SENSORS. *TR

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2007-2011 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, Yukon XL, and 2009-2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra 2500 and Sierra 3500 vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in the states of Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands or "Zone A." Additionally, GM is recalling certain 2007-2008 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, Yukon XL vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia or "Zone B." These vehicles are equipped with non-desiccated passenger frontal inflators containing phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator with an alternate one, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on February 22, 2021. Second notification letters will be mailed once the remedy is available. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 1, 2021. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020; Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006; and GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N212328760.

3EA21002 · Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
Opened Sep 17, 2021 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Air Bags:frontal:driver Side:inflator Module; Air Bags:frontal:passenger Side:inflator Module
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
