Good luck with getting the dealer to do those recalls.  VW will not
reimburse them for the work since recalls are only valid on vehicles less
than 10 years old.

Cheers,

Jeff

Patti,
There are several recalls.  You need to call VW and ask them
which recalls were not applied to your Vanagon. They will ask
for your VIN and then tell you which recalls your van needs.
They will also provide you with the phone number for a
dealer in your local.

i.e. My 88 Vanagon required the air conditioning duct support for
the rear housing and the fuel line.  The new fuel line has a plastic
housing over the fuel line to insulate the fuel line against friction
where the fuel line goes through the chassis.

If you'll call VW they will tell you which recalls were specifically
for the 90 Vanagon. They will also tell you which recalls were applied
to your Vanagon.

I don't usually take my Vanagon to the dealer for anything but
the recalls had not been installed on my Vanagon so I did let them
install the parts for the recalls. It's warranty work and they won't
charge you anything.

Good luck
JB
