Ok I’m doing this for my godmother she owns the car and keeps complaining about a gas smell. I seen that the was coming from on top of the gas tank which means it’s the pump. I seen where people are getting it fix for free but no official recall has been made. So how can she get hers fix from the dealership without any changes to her. It’s a 2007 Equinox lS

 

call 1-800-222-1020

 

There is no recall, but there is a special coverage campaign (12191). If you call a dealership and give them your VIN it should be on file in the vehicle history that your vehicle is eligible for this repair.

 

I have a 2008 Nox. Does it apply to mine?

It should since it's applicable to 2007-2009 Equinox. A dealership's service department can confirm this for you if you call and give them your VIN. The special coverage campaign number (12191) will appear in the warranty section when they run a vehicle history check. The coverage is unlimited age & unlimited miles when I check my VIN (I work at a dealership so I have access to the GM site). Yours will likely be the same. We had this fix done to our Equinox in September 2013, and haven't had the problem come back since then.

 

Thanks for the info .Will check it out'

 

I've got the same issue, strong gas smell from the rear of the car, is it likely the same issue as the 2007-2009's? I'm getting a P0455 service code, so I changed the solenoid on the charcoal box but it didn't help. I thought maybe a hose on top of the fuel tank but I cant see the top.

Thanks!

 

It's possible, but not likely. The 2010-2017 Equinox doesn't have this problem. A smoke test should find the leak.

 

Thanks Ruley, for the smoke test, since the smell seems to be under the car and possibly near the rear, can I pump the smoke into the gas tank at the gas cap?
