Possible Implications Arising from Fuel Pump Flow Issue
The recall of Chevy Equinox due to an inadequate fuel pump flow issue raises concerns about the potential consequences of such a problem. One of the major consequences of this issue is the risk of engine stalling. It may cause accidents. Furthermore, the problem can lead to an engine misfire.
