Recall 02V335000 · manufacturer campaign WRC-2003-01

What's wrong

ON CERTAIN SUPERCHARGED VEHICLES, THE FUEL LINE CROSSOVER HOSE SITS TOO CLOSE TO THE EGR VALVE, CAUSING THE HOSE TO BECOME TOO HOT AND BURN THROUGH, LEAKING FUEL.

The risk

FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.

The fix

DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW BRACKET WHICH WILL LOWER THE HOSE AND RELOCATES IT IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, AWAY FROM THE EGR VALVE. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT SALEEN AT 1-949-597-3837.

CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

Vehicles covered by this recall

Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Is this car's recall fixed?

Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
