Consumer Description

A few weeks ago I started smelling gas in my garage where my 2008 Corvette VIN: 1G1YY26W485105635 is parked. My vehicle has a little over 72k miles on it and has never been in an accident. As time went on the smell had gotten worse. I took the vehicle to my mechanic today and he says the fuel pump has a crack in it. There was a service bulletin issued by General Motors for this issue previously, according to your NHTSA site there’s currently no recalls or bulletins associated with this vehicle that have not been remedied. If my Corvette had this service bulletin completed why am I having this issue right now? Was it completed incorrectly? All I know is this is a pretty big job and GM should help out on it. This is a serious safety issue.
