Recall 02V121000: Fuel Filter Clip Replacement
DEFECT: This is an expansion of an earlier recall (02V-121). On certain sport utility vehicles, a fuel filter fitting can become disconnected. If this were
to occur while attempting to start the engine, a no-start condition would result and fuel would be pumped out the fuel filter onto the ground. If the fitting
becomes disconnected while the vehicle is in motion, the engine would stop due to inadequate fuel supply and cause a loss of power steering assist. If an
ignition source were present, fuel leakage from a disconnected fuel filter fitting could result in a fire.
REMEDY: Dealers will replace the fuel filter quick connect retainers. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification was expected to begin
during September 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, GMC at
1-800-462-8782, or Oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537.
