While looking through the emails on the air conditioner duct recall, I
noticed the one posted below about fuel rail and line replacement.
What's the deal on this? If it hasn't been done, does VOA have to do
this now? I was never notified of it, but was notified of other recalls
such as the overhead vent problem.
Thanks,
Jim

Campaign 92V058001 No. Recalled: 340,000
Campaign SF Notification Date:
System: Fuel Lines.
Vehicle Description: Passenger Cars.
Description of Defect: The fuel hose attached to the fuel
distribution rail on the engine may shrink
beyond the clamp force of the fuel hose
clamps, allowing fuel to leak.
Consequence of Defect: Fuel leakage in the engine compartment can
cause an underhood fire if the fuel comes
in contact with a source of ignition.
Corrective Action: Replace the fuel hose attached to the fuel
rail and install a new spring type self-
tightening clamp.
NOTE: Volkswagen of America estimates the
new self-tightening fuel hose clamps will be
available in May of 1992.
