What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD 2500/3500 and GMC Sierra HD 2500/3500 trucks equipped with an auxiliary battery. The vehicles can draw too much current through the trailer harness, which may cause the fusible link for the auxiliary battery to melt. If this occurs, the melted fusible link may contact nearby components and damage the electrical center cover, wiring harness conduit, and other vehicle parts, creating a fire risk.

To remedy this issue, GM will notify owners and dealers will replace the jumper harness with one that includes a 40 amp inline fuse and provide supplemental Owner Manual information at no charge. The recall began August 29, 2014. Affected owners should contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782 to schedule the repair, referencing GM recall number 14260.
