peduncan Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I know in the US that the nylon fuel rail on my 97 ETC was recalled and replaced with a stainless steel one. Here in Canada that was not the case and I've read in the form that there was no recall in Canada. I was advised by a fellow member of this form the have the fuel rail replaced due to safty concerns and I was wondering if any other Canadian members have had theirs replaced or not. I was talking to the service department at the local Caddilac dealer and was told that there was no recall but there was a newer version of the fuel rail. What have other Canadian owners done?

stefank Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 FWIW, my '96 SLS here in Germany has been involved in the recall, I got a letter from GM two years ago and had it carried out at a GM dealership back then. Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I've seen posts here that the recall is related to the use of gasahol. If methanol as a gasoline additive isn't available in Canada, they may not need the recall. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Logan Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Subject: Product Safety - Engine Fuel Rail-Replace #04014C - (10/01/2004) Models: 1995-1997 Cadillac DeVille Concours, Seville, Eldorado 1996-1997 Cadillac DeVille Equipped with 4.6L V8 (RPO LD8 - VIN Y; RPO L37 - VIN 9) Engine 1995-1997 Oldsmobile Aurora Equipped with 4.0L V8 (RPO L47 - VIN C) Engine -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED TO ADD 1997 CADILLAC MODEL VEHICLES. PLEASE DISCARD SAFETY RECALL BULLETIN NUMBER 04014B, DATED SEPTEMBER 2004. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Condition General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in all 1995-1997 Cadillac DeVille Concours, Seville and Eldorado, 1996-1997 Cadillac DeVille; and 1995-1997 Oldsmobile Aurora model vehicles. These vehicles have a condition in which the original equipment nylon tubing used in the fuel rail construction may degrade and crack. Additionally, the 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora uses a unique underhood fuel return line that may crack at unusually high rates. Cracking of the fuel rail can result in a fuel leak into the engine compartment. The operator may experience fuel odor and possibly engine stalling due to loss of fuel pressure to the engine. If this event were to occur, and if an ignition source were present, an engine compartment fire could occur. Correction Dealers are to inspect and, if necessary, replace the engine fuel rail with a new stainless steel fuel rail. Dealers will also replace the chassis fuel lines on 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora model vehicles. Vehicles Involved Involved are all 1995-1997 Cadillac DeVille Concours, Seville and Eldorado, 1996-1997 Cadillac DeVille; and 1995-1997 Oldsmobile Aurora model vehicles; and built within these VIN breakpoints: Year Division Model From Through 1995 Cadillac DeVille Concours SU200002 SU309069 1995 Cadillac Seville SU800001 SU838932 1995 Cadillac Eldorado SU600001 SU625230 1996 Cadillac DeVille TU200001 TU311280 1996 Cadillac Seville TU800001 TU838241 1996 Cadillac Eldorado TU600004 TU620816 1997 Cadillac DeVille VU200001 VU830483 1997 Cadillac Seville VU800001 VU845283 1997 Cadillac Eldorado VU600001 VU833269 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora S4100001 S4147771 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora T4100001 T4124133 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora V4100001 V4127927 Important: Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through GMVIS (GM Vehicle Inquiry System) before beginning recall repairs.

I would take this as Canada included. The 'all' may get it done for you. The original US bulletin resulted from a house that burned down. Show your dealer this post bulletin. With the word 'all' ...and mention he may be included in a lawsuit if the bulletin is not preformed as per your request. Your car must be within the VIN #s as listed. The word 'all' relates to 'everything.' US, Canada, Mexico, Export... Show that GM bulletin to a jury after your house burns down...no problem. That being said...they may not have to send a letter. Depends on country.
