Per news paper article recall. The fuel-injection delivery system can leak fuel from some of the sealing o-rings or from the hairline ccracks in the thermoplastic fuel injection rail. I think this should be a manufactures expense since the vechile I own fits the recall notice? Even though it is not showing up as of yet on the recall list

When starting the vehicle up to warm up there is a gas smell coming into the vehicle caused by a hole in the seal of the gas line which causes a leakage.the dealer can't determine the problem.
Strong gas smell and gas leak
First failure, around october 1997, was leak in fuel supply rail on starboard side of engine. This leak covers the two items from your list, as you have no specific item for fuel rail. Leak is worst in cold weather, hardly leaks at all in warm weather or after engine reaches operating temp. Have contacted two dodge dealers; they say that they are aware of a number of similar failures, but manufacturer does not underwrite repair. Manuals do not list fuel rails as a service item and there is no protocol for replacement of the seals, therefore, we feel that the faulty seals are a manufacturing defect. (?) failure number two, the battery cable positive simply rotted out at the termianal end and lost continuity. Manufacturer should have used an insulation the would survive better and longer in the engine room environment. Obviously, the conbination of a leaky fuel rail and a defective battery cable is not a happy one. Thanks for listening.
Vehicle repaired, dodge denies the federal safety agency campaign id#98v184000 recall, for refund. Please help. Thanx !
