Dt*: the contact stated a recall letter was received in early 2006; the vehicle was not taken in for repair. Then a second letter was received and the vehicle did have a fuel leak, the dealership was alerted and an appointment was made. The dealership began to perform the recall work. The contact was alerted that the fuel pump was damaged when the tank assembly was taken off the vehicle and needed to be ordered, but would be replaced under the recall also. The dealership then called the contact back and stated the VIN for the vehicle was not included and neither component would be included. The contact acquired the VIN from the dealership and contacted the manufacturer that determined this was not an accurate VIN and there was no record of this recall. There is not an the federal safety agency recall number, but the number on the letter is b156. Updated 07/03/06.

Request, the claim was denied., now that one mount has become completely unattached from the vehicle, the compant states they wont repair the failure as the vehicle is now 1 year out of its corossion warranty). I have complained about the rust/ safety issue since the vehicle was new! There are a limited number of these vehicles in north america, however, every vehicle has the issue of major rust in the lower door sill area where the seat belt anchor is located! Additionally, the fuel tank on this vehicle has rusted through, and is now leaking. The tank in this vehicle, is the same part (and part number) installed in the 1987-1992 land rover- range rovers which was recalled in 1995-1996 by the ntsha
