Reference the federal safety agency campaign # 93v125000 recall # 93s68. (1) the vehicle had been driven about one hour - while parking in front of the house on the street, I noticed a strong smell of gasoline. I was running on the back tank and quickly switched to the front tank. After shutting off the ignition and exiting vehicle I saw gasoline spilling out of the front tank from under the cap (still on). This continued for some 5-10 seconds and then stopped. When I loosened the cap, the flow of gasoline restarted - and stopped again when cap was tightened back down. (2) thankfully, the failure did not result in fire or loss of property - only fuel loss and personal anxiety and expense. (3) web research revealed the above recall and when speaking to a fmc representative at the hotline I was advised that this vehicle had received the recall repair. I was also advised that the warranty period had expired dec.31, 2001 and I would be responsible for any repairs. When presented to the dealership for repairs, I was advise that the fuel pump valve repairs would be my responsibilty and not covered by fmc. Why does the recall repair fail? And why does the consumer have to foot the bill?
My ford f250 (1990) is leaking gas and I understand there was a recall. Why haven't I received a notice?
