Recall 04V110000: Fuel Rail Fracturing



DEFECT: Certain passenger vehicles equipped with V8 LD8 and L37 engines have a condition in which the nylon tubing used in the fuel rail construction may degrade and crack. Cracking of the fuel rail or return line tubing can result in a fuel leak into the engine compartment. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.


REMEDY: Dealers will install a new fuel rail assembly made of stainless steel. Dealers will also install a revised chassis fuel return line. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during May 2004. Owners may contact Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339..
