Recalls: check by VIN

NHTSA files recalls for the GMC C2500 Suburban under individual trim or body names rather than "C2500 Suburban", so we can't match them automatically. Enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls for the definitive list. The owner complaints below are matched correctly.

FUEL TANK PUMP AND SENDING UNIT, LOCATED IN TANK, WAS REPLACED DUE TO BURNING OF INTERNAL CONNECTOR. THIS BURNING CAUSED EXTREME VENTING OF GAS VAPORS DURING TANK FILL UP, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN EXPLOSION. I POSSES THE OLD PART WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS THE BURNED WORSE AND PLUG CONNECTOR. *JB
