What's wrong?
In an all-wheel-drive 2019-2020 Chevrolet Equinox, the fuel tank stores gasoline under the rear of the SUV and feeds the engine through the fuel system. The tank is a molded plastic assembly, and its welded seam is supposed to stay sealed so fuel remains inside during driving, parking, and refueling.
Some tanks from the supplier were built with too little material along that plastic weld seam. That left the seam open enough for minor seepage near the fuel inlet, so gasoline can leak out instead of staying contained in the tank. Replacement tanks come from outside the supplier window tied to this defect.
The warning sign is fuel odor. If you smell gasoline near the Equinox, especially around the rear or fuel-filler area, treat it as a sign that the tank seam is leaking and have a Chevrolet dealer inspect the vehicle.
Who's affected?
The 2019 and 2020 Equinox model years are tied to the same fuel system component.

Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and GM's remedy says Chevrolet dealers will replace the fuel tank free of charge. Parts and labor are covered at any franchised Chevrolet dealer.
