"The fuel system control modules may have a condition in which an adhesive separation of the room temperature vulcanizing seal between the seal and the housing may allow water to seep into the module," said NHTSA in its recall summary of the problem. "Water in the module could cause a short or open circuit, illumination of the service engine soon lamp, setting of diagnostic trouble codes or the engine may be hard to start, may not start or may stall, increasing the risk of a crash."
Dealers will install a new fuel system control module for free. The recall is expected to begin May 18. Owners can contact Cadillac at (866) 982-2339; Chevrolet at (800) 630-2438 and GMC at (866) 996-9463.
Inside Line says: If you own one of the aforementioned vehicles, have it checked out ASAP with your dealer. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
