Transmission filler tube is breaking. there is a recall but not on mine. why? i ordered a new one.
My truck died in traffic but i was able to get started and home (2 miles). my check engine light came on and i am reading a code u0191, which refers to the fuel pump flow control module. i had to purchase a battery because i had a battery draining issue and was having to jump it if it sat for a couple of days. my truck will not start at this time. after doing some checking, both my fuel pump and fuel flow module fuses are hot even with the truck ignition off. which would indicate a short in the system. after some research , i found a safety recall that describes the exact issue but my vin doesn't come up in the recall. recall bulletin # 14515b . i guess what i am asking is why wasn't my vehicle included in the recall? apparently this is affecting more vehicles that what the recall included.
