What's wrong?
The fuel pump on these 2020 vehicles moves gasoline from the tank into the engine at controlled pressure. Inside the pump, a pressure-regulating accumulator pack helps keep that pressure within the designed range. That small internal part matters because the pump body, fittings, and fuel lines are built around a set pressure range.
On affected vehicles, the pump assembly was built without that accumulator pack during a supplier process change. Without the pressure regulator in place, fuel pressure rises too high inside the pump. That over-pressure can crack the weld at the inlet fitting and let gasoline leak from the high-pressure fuel pump area.
The warning signs are a fuel odor or fuel spilled on the ground. If you notice either one, treat it as a fuel leak and keep the vehicle parked until a dealer checks the recalled pump.

What's the safety risk?
Fuel pump over-pressurization can crack the pump and let fuel leak, increasing fire risk near an ignition source. If you smell fuel or see fuel on the ground, stop driving and call the dealer before moving the vehicle again. Repair is free at any franchised GMC dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020 GMC Yukon Xl, Escalade Esv, Sierra 1500, Suburban, Silverado 1500, Escalade, Camaro, Tahoe, or Yukon is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised GMC dealer to schedule the free fuel-pump replacement that fixes the missing pressure regulator and fuel-system over-pressurization.
- Bring the recall notice if GMC has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V837 and GM recall N192283991 when you call.
- Avoid ignition sources near the vehicle and stop driving if you see or smell a fuel leak until the fuel-pump repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a GMC technician replaces the fuel pump covered by recall 19V837. The work addresses a fuel pump that was built without the required pressure regulator, which can over pressurize the fuel system. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. GM is not offering a separate reimbursement program because the covered vehicles were under warranty. If you already paid for related fuel pump work, ask the service desk how the existing warranty applies to that prior repair paperwork.
