Emission Recall N262558690-01: Fuel Pump Power Control Module

Emission Recall N262558690-01 replaces the fuel pump power control module on twelve 2022–2023 GM model lines. It is a phased launch. The most important practical point is one that catches owners out: this is an emission recall, not a safety recall — it has no NHTSA campaign number and will not appear in a NHTSA VIN lookup. If you check NHTSA.gov and see nothing, that does not mean you are clear.

What to Do Right Now

Check more than one place. That is the single most useful instruction on this page.

• Your dealer, who can check IVH — Investigate Vehicle History in GM's Global Warranty Management system. This is the authoritative source, and GM's own bulletin states IVH must always be checked and must show OPEN status before any work begins. GM also explicitly warns dealers not to use Service Information with a VIN search, because it will not verify eligibility for field actions.
• Your myChevrolet, myGMC, myCadillac or myBuick app. Owners have reported being alerted to this campaign through the app.
• NHTSA.gov as well, since you should be checking it anyway for everything else — but do not expect this campaign to appear there.

Ask your dealer specifically about N262558690. Naming the campaign number gets you a straight answer faster than describing symptoms.

And if your engine has ever stalled unexpectedly, say so. GM's stated condition is that the module can fail and interrupt fuel flow to the engine, so that is directly relevant and worth putting on the record.

Why "Emission Recall" Changes Where You Look

This distinction matters more than it sounds, and it is why we led with it.

Safety recalls are conducted under NHTSA authority. They get an NHTSA campaign number, they appear in the NHTSA VIN lookup, and they generate the familiar recall letter.

Emission recalls are conducted under environmental regulation instead — federal EPA requirements and, in some states, CARB. They are still mandatory, still free, and still tracked by GM, but they run through a different regulatory channel and carry no NHTSA campaign number.

The practical consequence: this recall does not show up in a NHTSA VIN lookup. An owner who checks NHTSA.gov, sees nothing, and concludes their vehicle has no open work can be wrong.

One useful nuance. The bulletin itself is a public document — NHTSA publishes manufacturer communications alongside recall filings, which is how the PDFs linked at the top of this page are available to read. What is not in the federal lookup is whether your VIN is on the list. That takes a dealer.

And an emission classification is not a statement that the consequence is trivial. The same component was the subject of a safety recall in 2021 for a failure GM described as capable of stalling the engine without warning.

California Owners — Read This One

This is the section with a genuine financial consequence attached, and almost no coverage of this recall mentions it.

GM's bulletin carries an explicit message for California residents:

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) requires vehicle emission recalls be completed prior to California registration renewal. Uncorrected emission recalls will result in the inability to renew your California vehicle registration. At the time of emission recall completion, your California dealer will issue a "Proof of Correction Certificate". Keep this certificate and, if required, present it to the Department of Motor Vehicles when renewing your California registration as proof of recall completion.

So if you are in California and this recall is open on your VIN, it is not optional in any practical sense — it stands between you and your registration.

Two details worth knowing when you go in. GM instructs dealers that on the Proof of Correction certificate they should enter only the six digits in characters 4–9 of the bulletin number — that is, 255869, not the full N262558690. If a dealer writes the long number, the DMV may not accept it. And additional certificates can be obtained free by dealers through GM's ordering system, so a lost one is replaceable.

Twelve other states require a Recall Identification Label to be fitted on completion: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington, alongside California. If you are in one of those, check the label was applied.

There is a further consequence GM states plainly in the owner letter, and it applies everywhere:

In order to ensure full protection under the emission warranty, and the right to participate in future recalls... failure to [have the vehicle serviced] could legally be determined to be lack of proper maintenance of your vehicle. Also, your vehicle may fail a state or local emission inspection if this recall is not accomplished.

Read that first clause carefully. Ignoring an emission recall can be treated as a maintenance failure, which is the kind of finding that gets used to decline a later emission warranty claim.

Which Vehicles

GM's current bulletin lists twelve model lines:

Vehicle	Model years	In original 15 July release?
Buick Enclave	2022	Yes
Chevrolet Blazer	2022	Yes
Chevrolet Camaro	2022	Yes
Chevrolet Traverse	2022	Yes
Chevrolet Colorado	2023	Added 12 Aug
Chevrolet Equinox	2023	Added 12 Aug
Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban	2022	Added 12 Aug
GMC Canyon	2023	Added 12 Aug
GMC Terrain	2023	Added 12 Aug
GMC Yukon / Yukon XL	2022	Added 12 Aug
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 — see correction above	2022–2023	Added 12 Aug
GMC Sierra 1500 — see correction above	2022–2023	Added 12 Aug

The original 15 July release covered only four 2022 model lines — Enclave, Blazer, Camaro and Traverse. The 12 August revision tripled the scope and added a second part number. Then on 1 September GM pulled certain Silverado and Sierra VINs back out as erroneously included.

Three revisions in seven weeks, moving in both directions. That is the clearest possible argument for checking your own VIN rather than trusting any model list, including this one.

GM's bulletin gives no population count, which is normal for an emission recall — unlike a Part 573 safety recall filing, there is no regulatory requirement to state one.

What the Module Does

Worth understanding, because the name is opaque and the function is simple.

The fuel pump power control module sits between the vehicle's electrical system and the fuel pump. Rather than running the pump at a fixed speed, the module varies the power delivered to it so the fuel system supplies what the engine actually needs at any moment.

Which means it is a single point of failure in the fuel supply. The pump itself can be in perfect condition, the tank full, the filter clear — and if the module driving the pump misbehaves, the engine still does not get fuel. GM's own condition statement for this recall is exactly that: the module can fail, and fuel flow to the engine could be interrupted.

It is also an electronic module living in a harsh environment. Owners in coastal and salted-road regions have reported this component as a known weak point, which is consistent with how power electronics tend to fail: heat, vibration, moisture and corrosion. That is owner-reported field experience, not a GM finding — the bulletin states no cause.

What Owners Actually Experience

GM's own condition statement for this recall is brief:

Certain vehicles listed above may have a condition which can cause the fuel pump power control module to fail. If this were to occur, fuel flow to the engine could be interrupted.

The bulletin lists no symptoms beyond that. For a fuller picture we are drawing on GM's description from a closely related earlier campaign on this same component — safety recall N212332040 — which is labelled as such rather than presented as this campaign's language.

In that campaign, GM described a defect that can cause the fuel pump to fail or operate intermittently, interrupting the flow of fuel to the engine. If the engine does not receive adequate fuel, the vehicle may unexpectedly stall. GM listed what a driver may notice:

• A check engine light
• An OnStar notification that a diagnostic trouble code has been set
• A rough running engine
• Reduced power mode

And GM's assessment of the consequence, in that campaign: a vehicle stall without warning could increase the risk of a crash, especially at high speeds.

The word doing the work there is "intermittently." A module that fails outright is inconvenient and obvious. One that works most of the time and drops out occasionally is harder to diagnose and, on a highway, considerably more dangerous.

If your vehicle has stalled unexpectedly, do not wait for a letter. Contact your dealer, name the campaign, and describe what happened.

The Third Campaign on This Part

Useful context, because it shows this is a long-running issue that GM has kept widening.

Campaign	Type	Date	Scope
N212332040 NHTSA 21V739	Safety recall	September 2021	2021 Escalade, Escalade ESV, Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon, Yukon XL — 14,939 vehicles
N252516900	Emission recall	September 2025	Fifteen 2021–2023 Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC model lines. Phased launch. Additional VINs moved to Open in January 2026
N262558690	Emission recall	July 2026	Four 2022 model lines at launch, expanded to twelve on 12 August, partially corrected 1 September

Three things stand out.

The classification changed. The 2021 campaign was a safety recall filed with NHTSA; the later ones are emission recalls. That is a regulatory distinction rather than a statement that the part became less consequential.

The populations keep moving. The 2025 campaign spanned fifteen model lines, then had additional VINs moved to Open four months later. This campaign has been revised twice in seven weeks.

Which produces the practical advice: a clear result at one point in time is not permanent on this component. If you own a GM vehicle from roughly 2021–2023 and you have checked once, check again.

What "Phased Launch" Means

GM labels this bulletin a phased launch in bold at the top, and it is the source of most frustration with this campaign.

A phased launch means GM opens the campaign to batches of VINs over time rather than all at once, generally because parts supply cannot meet the whole population immediately. GM's parts note here says exactly that: supply is limited, quantity limiters may apply, and dealers are told not to order modules as shelf stock.

The consequence for you: your vehicle may genuinely be affected and yet show as not currently open, because your batch has not been released. That is not the same as being excluded.

What to do about it:

• Watch the owner app, which is where owners have reported first seeing this campaign appear.
• Re-check periodically rather than treating one lookup as final — in both directions, given the September correction.
• Ask your dealer to check IVH, which shows current status directly.
• If you are having symptoms now, do not wait for your phase. Raise it as a driveability concern — a vehicle that is stalling needs attention regardless of campaign scheduling.

The Remedy

Dealers replace the fuel pump power control module, free of charge. GM's instruction to dealers is to service all involved vehicles at no charge regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership.

The parts, from the current bulletin:

Qty	Part	Part number
1	Fuel Pump Power Control Module	13554820
1	Fuel Pump Power Control Module	13554821 — added 12 August

An earlier version of this page cited part number 13544060, taken from the 2021 safety recall on this component, with a caveat that it might not apply. It does not — this campaign uses 13554820 and 13554821, and the second of those was added when the population expanded.

GM's published labour times vary by model:

• 0.3 hours — Blazer, full-size truck, Traverse, Enclave, Equinox, Terrain, Camaro (LTG)
• 0.4 hours — Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Yukon XL
• 0.6 hours — Colorado, Canyon

This is a short job — well under an hour of labour on every application. Parts supply, not shop time, is what determines when you get it done.

If you are buying used: GM requires dealers to hold any involved vehicle in their possession and complete the repair before a customer takes delivery, and Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are de-certified until it is done. A private sale carries no such obligation.

Reimbursement

If you already paid to have this module replaced, there is a documented process and a deadline. GM's bulletin states that requests for reimbursement of previously paid repairs must be submitted to a dealer within one year of the date on the customer letter.

That is a rolling deadline rather than a fixed date, so the clock starts when your letter is dated — not when you open it.

The bulletin carries dedicated labour operations for both approved and denied reimbursement claims, so a denial is a documented outcome rather than a brush-off. GM also notes internally that a reimbursement transaction must be submitted before the repair transaction to avoid extra approval routing — worth mentioning to your service advisor so the paperwork goes in the right order.

Prior warranty replacement does not necessarily close the recall out. At least one owner reported having the module replaced under warranty and being told by their dealer to still bring the vehicle in — which is consistent with the recall specifying particular part numbers. Worth asking rather than assuming.

A Note on Sourcing

We cite documents we have read and label the rest.

This page is now built from three GM bulletins, all read in full and all hosted by NHTSA as manufacturer communications: the original release of 15 July 2026, the expanded revision 01 of 12 August 2026, and the population correction of 1 September 2026. Between them they supply the model list, the condition, the correction, the part numbers, the labour times, the California and state-label requirements, the emission warranty language, the dealer obligations, the reimbursement terms and the customer letter.

An earlier version of this page could not find a primary document for this campaign and said so, building instead on owner reports and on GM's bulletins for the related campaigns N212332040 and N252516900. Reading the actual bulletins changed three things:

• The model list is now published rather than withheld, because it is now sourced.
• The part number was wrong. 13544060 belongs to the 2021 safety recall; this campaign uses 13554820 and 13554821.
• The August expansion was partially reversed on 1 September, which no secondary source had reported.

The symptom list remains drawn from the related 2021 safety recall N212332040, which we read directly, and is labelled as such throughout. This bulletin describes only the module failing and fuel flow being interrupted.

The regional degradation point is owner-reported field experience, not a GM finding. The bulletin states no cause.

Populations move. This one has changed twice in seven weeks, in both directions. Your dealer's IVH check is the answer, not anything on this page. Ask about N262558690 by number.

What Other Pages on This Campaign Get Wrong

• Missing the September retraction. Certain 2022–2023 Silverado and Sierra VINs were removed as erroneously included, and GM told dealers to contact those owners. Coverage published in August reports the expansion as final. So did we.
• Sending owners only to NHTSA.gov. This is an emission recall with no NHTSA campaign number and it will not appear in the federal VIN lookup. GM's owner app and a dealer IVH check are the reliable routes.
• Skipping the California registration consequence. CARB requires emission recalls completed before registration renewal, and an uncorrected one blocks it. The Proof of Correction certificate is the document that clears it — and the recall number written on it must be the six digits 255869.
• Not mentioning the emission warranty consequence. GM's own letter says failure to have the work done could legally be determined to be lack of proper maintenance, and that the vehicle may fail a state or local emission inspection.
• Treating "emission recall" as meaning minor. The same component was the subject of a safety recall in 2021 for a failure GM described as capable of stalling the engine without warning, especially at high speeds. The classification is regulatory, not a severity rating.
• Not explaining phased launch. Showing as not open today does not mean excluded — it may mean your batch has not been released.
• Quoting the wrong part number. 13544060 is from the 2021 campaign. This one uses 13554820 and 13554821 — we had this wrong too.
• Assuming a previous warranty replacement closes it. Owners have been told to bring the vehicle in anyway.
• Citing bulletins without linking them. NHTSA publishes GM's manufacturer communications, and all three are linked on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

I own a 2022 or 2023 Silverado or Sierra and was told this recall applied. What changed?

On 1 September 2026 GM stated that certain 2022–2023 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 VINs had been erroneously included and are not affected by the condition. Those VINs were removed from Investigate Vehicle History, and dealers were told to contact affected customers to say no further action is required. Re-check your VIN with a dealer — not every Silverado or Sierra was removed, only certain ones.

Is an emission recall less serious than a safety recall?

Not necessarily. The difference is which regulatory framework the campaign runs under. It is still mandatory and still free. This exact component was the subject of a safety recall in 2021, for a defect GM said could cause the vehicle to stall unexpectedly, with a stall without warning increasing crash risk especially at high speeds.

I checked NHTSA and nothing came up. Am I clear?

No. Emission recalls have no NHTSA campaign number and do not appear in the federal VIN lookup. Check your GM owner app, and ask your dealer to check Investigate Vehicle History — that is GM's own field action system and it is the authoritative source.

Which vehicles are affected?

Twelve model lines as of the 12 August bulletin: 2022 Enclave, Blazer, Camaro, Traverse, Tahoe/Suburban and Yukon/Yukon XL; 2023 Colorado, Equinox, Canyon and Terrain; and 2022–2023 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 — with the September correction applying to certain Silverado and Sierra VINs. The original July release covered only four 2022 models.

I live in California. Does this affect my registration?

Yes, potentially. CARB requires emission recalls to be completed before registration renewal, and GM's bulletin states that an uncorrected emission recall will result in the inability to renew. Your dealer issues a Proof of Correction Certificate on completion — keep it. Note that the recall number on that certificate should be written as 255869, the six digits from characters 4 to 9 of the bulletin number.

What happens if I just ignore it?

GM's owner letter states that failure to have the vehicle serviced could legally be determined to be lack of proper maintenance, which can affect your emission warranty and your right to participate in future recalls, and that the vehicle may fail a state or local emission inspection.

What would I notice if the module is failing?

GM's condition statement for this recall says only that the module may fail and fuel flow to the engine could be interrupted. On the related 2021 safety recall, GM listed a check engine light, an OnStar notification that a trouble code had been set, a rough running engine, and reduced power mode — with unexpected stalling as the underlying risk. The module may fail outright or work intermittently, and the intermittent version is the one that catches people out at speed.

My vehicle isn't showing as open yet.

This is a phased launch, so GM releases batches of VINs over time because of parts supply. Not currently open is not the same as not affected. Re-check periodically, watch the owner app, and if you are having symptoms now, raise it as a driveability concern rather than waiting for your phase.

I already had this module replaced under warranty. Do I still need to go in?

Ask. At least one owner reported exactly that situation and was told to bring the vehicle in regardless, which is consistent with the recall specifying particular part numbers. And if you paid for it yourself, you have one year from the date on your customer letter to claim reimbursement.

How long does the repair take?

GM's published labour times are 0.3 hours for the Blazer, full-size trucks, Traverse, Enclave, Equinox, Terrain and Camaro; 0.4 for Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Yukon XL; and 0.6 for Colorado and Canyon. Parts availability is the real variable — GM tells dealers not to stock these modules.

What does the "-01" mean?

It is the first revision of the bulletin, released 12 August 2026, which expanded the population and added part number 13554821. GM reissues bulletins as populations, procedures, parts or warranty details change. The 1 September notice is a further update under the same number.

Does it cost anything?

No. GM instructs dealers to service involved vehicles at no charge regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership.

Where can I read the actual bulletins?

All three are public. NHTSA hosts GM's manufacturer communications: the 12 August revision has the model list, parts, labour times and customer letter; the 1 September notice contains the population correction; and the 15 July original shows the launch scope.
