Chevrolet / Gmc recall: Fuel system, diesel
What is wrong

In the affected vehicles, the hose clamp that secures the fuel tank vent line may not have been properly tightened during assembly.
What could happen
A loose hose clamp could allow the fuel tank vent line to detach which may result in a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten the fuel tank vent line hose clamp, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on February 6, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14855.
