STS Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 What engines is the recall for? I have a 1997 STS, Would that be on the recall? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 What engines is the recall for? I have a 1997 STS, Would that be on the recall? Thanks It's for the fuel rail on the '95-'97 Northstar engines as well as the Olds Aurora 4.0 engine. The nylon fuel rail is being replaced with a stainless steel fuel rail. The Olds also gets a new fuel line. Kevin '93 Fleetwood Brougham '05 Deville '04 Deville 2013 Silverado Z71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike5514 Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 The recall notice listed all sevilles 95-97 mine is a sls, I assume they mean sts also. With the notice is a claim form for reimbursement if you had the fuel rail replaced already. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrylange Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 I called the local Caddy dealership two weeks ago about the recall, based on the info on this board. They asked for the VIN on my '97 DeVille, checked it out, and said that mine wasn't included. When I asked them why mine wasn't included, when the recall apparently applied to all '97 DeVilles, they said mine must have been built in a different factory. I took the car in anyway, for some front end work. Yesterday, I got the recall notice in the mail from GM. I checked with the same dealership, and they said "it's on the list, bring it in." Now, I have to head back there a second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Sounds like they were "shooting from the hip" the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don280z Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 My Father-in-law just got his replaced on his SLS... He dropped the car off at the dealer, and picked it up an hour later.. It must be an easy replacement.... He didn't know what they did, but we figured it wasn't the whole fuel rail...That would take a few hours...

chazglenn3 Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 They replaced the whole fuel rail on my car and put a new fuel pressure regulator on at my request in less than 2 hours. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 The replacement procedure, according to the notice, replaces the entire fuel rail, and takes approximately 50 minutes.

Bronson Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I had the fuel rail done today with no appointment; they did a few other minor things as well and were driving away in less than two hours. Service tech said that they were replacing every one regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Service tech said that they were replacing every one regardless. That's what the service advisor told me as well. He said mine did not require replacement but they were instructed to replace all of them. I inspected it prior to dropping off the car and the nylon tubing did not have the yellow/white "GM 213M TYPE F" or "M-BOND" identification spec. on it. The TSB says that if the tubing does not have the identifying specs., it must be replaced with the stainless rail.
