Two problems related to other fuel system pump have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Fuel pump wiring failed causing fuel pump to burn up. Obvious issue as gm now includes replacement wiring with replacement fuel pumps. Safety issue for the following reasons, any wiring failure in proximity to the fuel tank could cause a fire, failure of the wiring resulting in failure of the fuel pump leaves the vehicle immediately stranded, whether on a high speed freeway, in local traffic, in a an unsafe area or sitting in your driveway. There is no symptom so that preventive maintenance can be performed.
Is the NHTSA recall campaign 05v155000 (Chevrolet suburban 2000-2001 fuel pump failure) going to be expanded to other gm trucks? my 1999 Tahoe had the exact failure described in this recall, and I expect it will fail again. If the recall will be restricted to the 2000-2001 suburbans, I will perform my own modification to my Tahoe's pump (I will bypass the internal pump connector and solder the wires). However, if the recall will be expanded to the 1999 Tahoe in the near future, I would rather have the official gm fix applied.
