Based on information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website, the media may report that General Motors will be announcing a safety recall involving certain 2004-2006 model year Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban; GMC Sierra, Yukon XL; 2006 Chevrolet Kodiak and 2006 GMC TopKick model vehicles equipped with 8.1L V8 (RPO L18 - VIN G) engine.

Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the engine fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip may fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper comes loose, a fuel leak may result.

To correct this condition, dealers are to replace the engine fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip.

Approximately 51,000 vehicles are involved and GM is working with its suppliers to obtain the required parts as quickly as possible. Customer notification is scheduled to begin in August, 2006.

GM Vehicle Inquiry System (GMVIS) information for this recall will not be available until the recall bulletin is released to dealers.
