2007 Chevrolet Aveo recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with a 1.6L engine, during a ncap severe frontal crash test, the fuel line in the engine compartment developed a fracture. In addition, the crash damage caused four short circuits in the fuse block, the combination of which allowed the fuel pump to continue running and fuel leaked onto the ground.
💥 The risk
If these conditions occurred in an actual crash, a vehicle fire could occur.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the fuse block and install a new section of fuel line that has been redesigned free of charge. The recall began on november 16, 2006. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
