WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. WITHIN SECONDS THE ENGINE RESTARTS. THE MOST COMMON OCCURRENCE IS WHEN TRAVELING ON BUMPY ROADS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, THE SAME WILL HAPPEN, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISCONNECT, AND CANNOT BE RESET UNTIL AROUND 30 MINUTES. AGAIN, THE ENGINE WILL DIE AND IMMEDIATELY RESTART. THIS IS HAPPENING MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY LATELY. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

Reported: 2018-04-26 (April 26, 2018)

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2009-2014 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD, 2009 GMC Topkick 5000, 6000, 7000 and 8000 Series and Isuzu F Series, and 2009-2018 Chevrolet Express, and GMC Savana vehicles, equipped with certain Plastic-Handle Fire Extinguishers or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf

Consequence: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde to get a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began June 11, 2018. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, and Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638. GM's number for this recall is 18146.
