Re: NHTSA:04V110000 - 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora I have had a fuel rail failure in this vehicle and GM states that the recall notice only applies to 1996-1997 vehicles. Does this mean that because this problem started and was observed in the 1995 models, that those of us with the vehicles that the problem was initially observed in can just plain go to hell and suffer the loss of a vehicle or worse still be consumed in a fire started by this defect and be politely told, "sorry, this only applies to the vehicles sent a recall notice". I believe that your recall id 04V110000 should apply to all vehicles affected, not just those GM has sent notices. It was sent to 1995 Cadillac owners which has the same engine as the 1995 Aurora, the Aurora is 4.0 litre and the Cadillac 4.6 litres - identical engines but a smaller displacement. Same configuration and fuel rail components. I was indeed very fortunate that neither a fire or other serious event happened and only wish that GM would at least acknowledge the fact that this failure was the result of the failure of the part involved in the following attachment, and be compensated for the repair of said component.

On or about August 30, 2004, the fuel rail on my 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora developed a leak and flooded the engine compartment with raw gasoline. I immediately took the vehicle to the local authorized Oldsmobile dealer in seward Nebraska for repairs. Recently I noticed that GM has issued a recall on 1995-1997 Aurora with this problem. Unfortunately, Oldsmobile has determined that my vehicle [xxx] was not included in the recall. Since this was a safety related issue, I believe that I should be reimbursed the $474.34 for the cost of the repair.
