   I have received a voluntary recall notice on my 2023 Chevrolet Silverado. The recall states that the vehicle may have a condition which can cause the Fuel Pump power control module to fail. If this happens fuel flow to the engine could be interrupted causing the motor to shut off. Would this be considered a safety concern if the engine shuts down on th highway?

   Engine failure on our 4-cylinder- it just quits same problem as on the 6-cylinder - it just stops running or runs rough. No warning signs and no indication that it is about to fail.
