GM recalling 51,640 SUVs due to defective fuel gauges

GM is recealling 51,640 SUVs from their Buick Enclavee, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia lines from the 2014 model year. The recalled models were built between March 26 and Aug. 15 of 2013. The key defect is the engine control module software that leads the fuel gauge to read inaccurately. This could result on sudden stalling when the vehicles run out of fuel.  

GM doesn’t know of any crashes or injuries related to the problem and  dealers will reprogram the software for free, starting immediately. The company will also notify owners by mail. This follows an earlier recall in March for faulty airbag wiring that  illuminates the airbag warning light while leading to failure of deployment.
