GM has issued a service bulletin for certain 2023 and 2024 Chevy Equinox crossovers that need a high-pressure fuel pump replacement because the factory fuel pump is potentially inoperative.
The General offers a listing of VINs for affected Chevy Equinox units, though there is no specific number of units involved. Service personnel should verify that the Equinox is marked as “Open” on its Investigate Vehicle History page before beginning the fix.
The inoperative high-pressure fuel pump issue should be corrected promptly by service personnel who encounter an affected Chevy Equinox unit. This includes customer vehicles brought to the dealership and crossovers currently in dealer inventory. Involved Equinox units cannot be sold, delivered, auction, traded, or demonstrated by dealerships until properly repaired.
The remedy for the issue, offered by Service Bulletin N242450160, is full replacement of the high-pressure fuel pump and the high pressure fuel pump feed pipe. The fix takes about 1.5 hours to complete. Dealerships should not order components as shelf stock because available quantities are limited.
The remedy is available free of charge through end of the Emission Limited Warranty period for the specific Chevy Equinox unit.
As a reminder, motivation for the 2024 Chevy Equinox is provided by the turbocharged 1.5L I4 LSD gasoline engine as the sole powerplant choice. This engine develops a maximum of 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque.
The 1.5L I4 LSD gasoline engine was added to the 2023 model-year vehicle to replace the turbocharged 1.5L I4 LYX gasoline engine that was utilized to motivate previous model years. The engine is connected to the GM six-speed automatic transmission for cog swaps. The model was produced with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations.
Under the sheet metal, the Equinox rides on the GM D2 platform. Production of the third-generation Equinox’s final model year concluded at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant during April 2024, and at the GM San Luis Potosà plant during October 2024.
