The letter only deals with the fuel pump fitting that loves to crack on the top of the fuel pump.
Note, fuel pump is on the drivers side tank, with a venture pump over on the passenger side that is fluid pressure driving by the driver fuel pump through the cross over tube.

If you have a problem over on the passenger side tank, then a O ring problem or cracked tank instead.

I haven't received a letter ... yet. When it arrives I'll add it to the stack of other recall notices.

I too received the letter. From time to time after filling the tank I have noticed a "gas smell" so looks like I have the issue.

This leads me to wonder what exactly is involved in the repair? Anyone care to weigh in as to what they have to do to get to the problem?

Got mine on Monday for my 2010 GS. I just got the car in October and it's been sitting in the garage (full tank) since November. No fuel smell yet (fingers crossed) but the car only has 11,xxx miles.

After filling up, we would get an occasional fuel smell in the car while driving. But only when going around right-hand corners. We were lucky- replaced the gas cap and no fuel smell for the last 40k miles.

Are the people getting the letters the original owners or is GM actually tracking down all owners?
The unfortunate thing is it probably does not apply to me in another country, this does worry me, but no signs of it yet. I would be happy if it covered the parts and I did the job myself.

Got mine for my 2012 base on Monday; I haven't had the problem, so letter will go into the owner's manual pouch in the glove box.

I am the 2nd owner and got the letter for my 2008 last summer.
This is not a recall. If you don't have the issue no work is done.
So far so good for me, 70K miles.

I am the second owner of my 2013. I received the letter today, so it would seem that GM is tracking the vehicles. Good !
