General Motors has issued a recall for more than 500 cars, trucks and SUVs from the 2020 model year in the United States and Canada, as the vehicles may be equipped with a faulty fuel pump.

The hazards: cracks in the fuel pump can cause the fuel to leak from the pump and may cause a fire.
Affected components: fuel pump, fuel pump pressure regulator.
Affected vehicles: the following vehicles are affected – most of which are trucks and SUVs based on the GM K2XX platform. The Chevrolet Camaro is also involved. A total of 502 vehicles are affected in the U.S. and Canada.
