- Correction:
- General motors will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace the fuel transfer pump, as necessary, free of charge. the manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. the recall began on may 30, 2014. owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 and gmc at 1-800-462-8782. gm's number for this recall is 13420.
