What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD and 2015 GMC Sierra HD vehicles with 220 Amp Generators that were manufactured in early 2014. In these vehicles, the retention clips holding the fuse block in place can become loose, causing the fuse block to shift position. When this happens, exposed wires in the fuse block may touch metal mounting studs or other metal parts, creating an electrical short that could cause an engine compartment fire.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 for Chevrolet or 1-800-462-8782 for GMC to schedule an inspection. Dealers will check the fuse block to ensure it is properly secured and will repair it at no cost if necessary. The recall began on July 30, 2014, and owners can reference recall number 14208 when contacting GM.
