Issue: On certain trucks equipped with "Fleet Engineer" mud flaps, the bracket for the mud flaps may partially cover the rear reflective tape.

Safety Risk: Reflective tape that is covered may make the truck less visible to others and could create an increased risk of a crash.

It will be moved as necessary to meet the regulations.

Corrective Actions: Cummins will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Cummins authorized service center to disable the fuel heater.

Issue: On certain Silverado LD and Sierra LD models, the bed-cover could come loose while driving and detach from the truck. This problem affects tri-fold tonneau covers that were factory ordered or sold as an accessory. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall 2019-205. Trucks that were repaired under that recall also require this repair. Safety Risk: A tonneau cover that separates from a moving vehicle could create a hazard for other drivers and nearby people. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to replace the tonneau cover rails and clamps. They will also add a tether to prevent the tonneau cover from detaching. For trucks repaired under recall 2019-205, the dealer will confirm that the previous repair was performed correctly. Note: Until the recall repairs are completed, you can prevent the chance of the tonneau cover detaching by removing it from your truck and storing it.
