2nd Generation Colorado News and Notes

The 2015 Chevy Colorado is being recalled to fix intermittent power steering loss.

GM may have used the wrong bolts to secure the seat belts in certain 2020 and 2021 Chevy models.

GM is recalling 850 vehicles with improperly welded fuel pumps.

The automaker says the joint that connects the fuel pump’s outer housing to the pump’s flange may not have been properly welded by the supplier. Over time, the weld could crack and cause a separation of the high-pressure fuel pump from the flange, allowing the pump to oscillate inside the engine compartment.

The oscillating pump can bump into a nearby fuel line and calamity ensues.

The recalled vehicles include the 2018 Chevy Colorado, Equinox, and Malibu, as well as the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac ATS, and GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain.

GM says the joint that connects the fuel pump’s outer housing to the pump’s flange may not have been properly welded by the supplier.

That weld could crack and cause a separation of the high-pressure fuel pump from the flange, allowing the pump to oscillate inside the engine compartment.

The moving pumps can damage a high-pressure fuel line which is going to create an even higher-pressure situation when you start spraying flammable gas onto hot car parts.
