What's wrong?
The fuel-tank fuel-pump module in the 2020 XT5, XT6, Enclave, Traverse, and Acadia moves gasoline from the tank to the engine. Inside that module, the jet nozzle helps keep fuel flowing through the pump assembly so the engine receives a steady supply. When that flow is clear, the engine has the fuel it needs to start, idle, and accelerate.
On affected vehicles, the pump was built with plastic burrs inside the mixing tube. A burr is leftover plastic from manufacturing, like a raised edge that should have been removed. That extra plastic can block the jet nozzle, which restricts fuel flow through the module. If the engine does not receive enough fuel, it can run poorly or stop running.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall information does not identify a light, noise, smell, or driving feel that reliably appears before the nozzle becomes blocked.
Who's affected?

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Insufficient fuel supply can make the engine stall without warning, which increases crash risk because power can drop while you are driving. If your VIN is included, schedule the fuel pump module replacement soon and avoid ignoring any stall or loss of power. Repair is free at any franchised Cadillac dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020 XT5, XT6, Enclave, Traverse, or Acadia is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Cadillac dealer to schedule the free fuel-pump-module replacement that fixes the fuel-supply blockage tied to engine-stall risk.
- Bring the recall notice if Cadillac has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 20V639 when you call.
- Drive carefully until the repair is complete. If the engine stalls or runs poorly, stop in a safe place and call the dealer.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Cadillac technician replaces the fuel pump module covered by recall 20V639. The repair addresses a blocked fuel pump jet nozzle that can limit fuel supply to the engine. Replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. GM is not offering a separate reimbursement program because the covered vehicles were under warranty for this issue. If you already have repair paperwork, ask the service desk how the existing warranty coverage applies.
