General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2016 GMC Sierra 1500, 2500, 3500, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks. The roof-rail air bag (RRAB) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator, or the inflator sidewall may rupture.
A separated inflator end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape, resulting in the end cap or other components being propelled into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2016-2018 GMC Sierra 3500 and Chevrolet Silverado 3500 trucks equipped with gasoline engines and dual fuel tanks. The fuel-level sensor in the front tank may stick in a low-level position, allowing the rear tank to overfill the front tank.
If the front tank overfills, the excess pressure may cause the front tank to expand and contact the driveshaft, possibly resulting in a hole in the tank. The hole will leak fuel, which in the presence of an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire.

NEW TRUCK HAD LOSE STEERING WHEN I TOOK DELIVERY, REQUIRING OVER CORRECTION. WITH JUST 4529 IN MILEAGE ON IT I TOOK IT BACK TO MY DEALER. WAS TOLD THEY ALREADY HAD MADE REPAIRS TO FOUR OTHER TRUCKS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE HYDRAULIC RECIRCULATING BALL STEERING GEAR. STEERING GEAR ADJUSTER WAY TOO FAR OUT, LEAKING AT SHAFT SEALS. REPLACED GEAR AND THE NEW ONE WAS BAD AS WELL, WITH STEERING STICKING AND THEN SLIPPING. REPLACED WITH SECOND NEW GEAR AND VEHICLE CHECKED OUT AND WAS RETURNED TO ME. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION FOR A TRUCK DESIGNED TO TOW HEAVY VEHICLES.
AT 2000 MILES ON MY NEW TRUCK, THE STEERING BECAME VERY LOOSE. DEALER REPLACED STEERING BOX. I HAVE NOW HAD IT IN 3 MORE TIMES WITH LOOSE STEERING. VERY SCAREY TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY WITH LOOSE STEERING. YOU FEEL IT MORE AT HIGHER SPEEDS THAN YOU DO AT LOWER SPEEDS
