What's wrong?
The fuel gauge system in the 2014 Traverse, Acadia, and Enclave depends on the engine control module, or ECM, and the instrument panel working together. The ECM is the vehicle computer that reads fuel level information and sends the gauge the information it needs to show how much gasoline is in the tank. The instrument panel then turns that signal into the fuel reading the driver sees.
In affected vehicles, the ECM software handles that fuel level information incorrectly. The gauge can show more or less fuel than is actually in the tank, so the display no longer gives the driver a dependable reading. The problem is in the software logic, not a broken fuel tank or a loose gas cap.
There is no warning sign before failure. The owner notices the problem only when the fuel gauge reading does not match the actual fuel level, which can leave the vehicle with less gasoline than the driver expects.

What's the safety risk?
An inaccurate fuel gauge can show more fuel than the vehicle has. The vehicle can run out of fuel unexpectedly and stall, increasing crash risk, especially in traffic. Do not rely on the gauge alone, and schedule the dealer repair. Repair will be free at any franchised Chevrolet dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Chevrolet Traverse, Acadia, or Enclave is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Chevrolet dealer and ask whether the free ECM software reprogramming is ready for recall number 14V223.
- Use Chevrolet's June 27, 2014 owner notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 14V223 when you call.
- Keep extra fuel in the tank until the ECM is reprogrammed, because the fuel gauge can read inaccurately and the vehicle can stall.
What happens at the repair
The known dealer remedy is an ECM software reprogram. Once the final repair is available for your VIN, a Chevrolet technician will update the engine control module so the fuel gauge reads correctly. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. The source notice says GM began this recall on June 27, 2014, but the current remedy status in this input is not marked available, so treat the dealer as the confirmation point before making a service trip.
