Recall #14260 covers 2007-2011 GMC 3500 trucks with dual batteries amd covers vehicles through June 22nd of 2011, mine was made in July 07/11 and I was drivind 3 hours and 30 minutes after getting home my truck wself ignited inder the bed of the truck abive tje rear part of the spare tore. I believe the positive wire to the trailer wiring plug in grounded and the fuse did not blow causing the grounded wire to ignite the wiring harness and spray in bed liner burning the rear of the truck, I believe your recall covers more trucks than listed. Mine is within 1-2 weeks from the recall end date, and the results are exactly how the recall is explained, the only wire with. 10 guage wire with constant power to it that would have enough voltage to it is the trailer positive charging wire, and once shorted should blow the fuse protecting the vehicle from fire. If this wire grounds and the fuse does not blow it would cause excessive heat where the ground happened until a fire was created, which is what happened in my case. Should I have my insurance company ( allstate) look into this claim against GMC ? or what is your plan of action? I have $50,000. 00 dollars invested in this truck with an estimate of $10,000. 00 in repairs, plus the overhead in my garage, smoke damage mostly, some bubbled paint on a front fender of the mustang parked behind me and the insulation pannels on my electric garage door, as well as needing a rental car while thos gets fixed. Ite vehicle was parked in my open bay garage and the fire was noticed 30 minutes after returning home.
My 2011 fmc Sierra 3500 drw denali suffered a failure of the transmission control module (tcm). I could barely move the vehicle and almost got into an accident merging into traffic. Forward and reverse was affected. The transmission reverts to top gear after the failure, and makes driving very difficult. There was no warning for this failure luckily I was minutes from my dealership. This problem could be bad.
