Hello, I got a check engine light and found the code is for "low flow, check fuel control module, fuel pump". I found a recall bulletin no.: 14515b date: January 2015 subject: chassis electronic control module internal contamination. It is model year truck and the exact part number of the control module but the local dealer advised GM does not list my VIN as being involved, even though my truck is listed in the model year bulletin and it is the exact part number for all vehicles!! My truck could stop at any time and is unsafe to drive. I can;t drive the vehicle for fear of it stalling and even GM advised it could stall in trafiic and is a safety hazard. Please help. Thank you.

I have a short in my fuel pump flow control module. It causes my car to stall while while in operation, check engine light comes on, sometimes it doesn't start, etc. This issue has haunted me for about a year now. I found a recall bulletin from GM; #14515b. This is the exact part # and issue that I'm having but my VIN # isn't part of the recall. Is it possible that my VIN was missed?
The engine died without warning while driving at about 30 MPH. Power steering and brakes were lost making the vehicle very difficult to control. I managed to stop the vehicle safely and had it towed to a Chevrolet dealership. The cause of the engine die out was found to be an internal fault in the engine control module.

My module fuel pump flow control part# 20759945 is not working and for some reason it is recalled for some vins for 2008 but not mine. If it is the same part and same problem why is not recalled for all? Chevy has a TSB #14515b but company will only say engineers decide who gets the recall.
