Description of the problem | I was driving approx. 65 mph in heavy traffic on the new york state thruway when i lost all power to my truck and was barely able to manuever off the road. I had my truck towed to my mechanic & was told that it was the fuel pump flow control module. Recall no. 08411 2009 gmc canyons were recalled because of this problem. The recall stated that the fuel system control modules have a condition in which an adhesive separation of the rtv seal between the seal and the housing may allow water to seep into the module. Water in the module could cause a short, illumination of the service engine soon light (which was on in my truck). Also the engine may be hard to start, may not start or may stall. If the vehicle stalls while it is moving, a crash may occur! This happened to me but i was fortunate enough to not crash and die. Like others my truck did not fall within the vin #s. Obviously there was a problem with this part. My truck had the problems stated in the recall and this was confirmed by my mechanic & dealership. However, gmc denied the reimbursement because it was not within the recalled vin#s. Gmc was not broad enough with their recall!! I'm attaching a photo of the module and you can clearly see the corrosion . |
