General Motors has issued a recall for certain examples of the 2021 Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon full-size SUVs due to a potential fuel leak.
The problem: affected vehicles may have been fitted with a fuel tank assembly that is missing certain adhesive between two layers of the fuel tank shell. Under certain conditions, fuel could seep between these layers, which over time may result in a slow leak from the fuel tank.

The fix: dealers are instructed to remove the fuel tank and replace it with a new one. These repairs will be performed at no cost to the vehicle owner.
Affected components: fuel tank.

I have a 2009 chevy silverado 4×4, 1500 . I’m trying to find a part ? The steering wheel angle sensor ? GM response to my letter was you are on your own. No more discussion about this matter
Can I get a hand from anyone that has the same problem 🤬 ? Thanks Ron
Unless Anybody’s auto is less than 5 years old; The dealer don’t keep those parts on hand! That’s been my experiences over the last 3 decades!!!
Found one for my wifes 09 jeep on eBay 2 years ago from a jeep dealer, brand new and still working great.
About the Indian branded name ( Tahoe): If that suv has the comparable parts on it vs the explorer; there’s no comparison.
Is the fuel leak optional or standard?
