What is being recalled

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PASSENGER VANS AND STRIPPED CHASSIS. THERE IS INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE AND THE FUEL LINE WHICH, OVER TIME, CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE FUEL LINE CAUSING FUEL LEAKAGE.

Why it is dangerous

IF THERE IS FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, FIRE COULD RESULT.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL SUPPLY LINE. IN ADDITION, A PIECE OF ANTI-ABRASION INSULATION WILL BE INSTALLED TO PREVENT ABRASION OF THE FUEL LINE.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 98V-062 when calling a dealer.
