It's the vent hose to the front differential that some of us have received a recall rom GM on. Mine was fine, not tapped or kinked.

The photo GM sent with the recall was not only poor quality, but was the underhood of a gasser, not a duramax. I looked all over the driver's side and couldn't find a breather hose kinked or un-kinked. Good timely recall though, since my truck is 6 months old and has a fair number of off-road 4 wheel drive miles on it!:mad:

Is it just LMM's or is all 4x4's - gas or diesel?

Sure it is just LMMs. Dont know about diesel or gas, but it is probaly all 4 wheel drives.

LMM is diesel - the recall is for a select group of 4x4's both gas and diesel.

Ha ha, you got me. I always use LMM as in the "new" body style.

well, I did not receive this letter, but checked anyways, and we're good...no tape.

Had my truck into the dealer today. Checked out okay. No kink. The service rep said that they had not seen any so far that had the kink in the line.

Cool, I was worried when the guy told me there was no action needed. The pics from the paper were way boo boo. I couldnt see nothing.
