What's wrong?
The diesel fuel transfer pump on the 2015 Silverado Hd and Sierra Hd trucks moves diesel between the dual fuel tanks so the engine has a steady fuel supply. Fuel pipes connect to that pump on both sides, and those connections need the correct torque to stay sealed while the truck vibrates and the fuel system is under use.
On affected trucks, the fuel pipe connections were not tightened correctly. A loose connection leaves a path for diesel fuel to escape from the transfer pump area. That leak is the defect in recall 14V213, and it is why the fuel system needs inspection and repair.
There is no warning sign before failure. After a leak starts, an owner can notice a diesel smell or visible fuel near the truck, and that needs dealer attention.
