- What is wrong
- Some passenger vehicles equipped with 4.0l v8 engines have a condition in which the nylon tubing used in the fuel rail construction may degrade and crack. Additionally, the 1995 model year uses a unique underhood fuel return line that may crack. Cracking of the fuel rail or return line tubing can result in a fuel leak into the engine compartment.
- Risk
- Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the engine fuel rail with a new stainless steel fuel rail. Dealers will also install a revised chassis fuel return line. The recall began on june 2, 2004, for 1996-1997 oldsmobile aurora vehicles. Owners of 1995 cadillacs and 1996-1997 oldsmobile aurora were sent letters on august 6, 2004. Additional letters to owners will be forthcoming. Owners should contact oldsmobile at 1‑800‑630‑6537.

Fuel rail leaks
On march 3, 2004, general motors notified odi that it was recalling approximately 94,000 my 1995-97 oldsmobile aurora vehicles equipped with 4.0l v8 engines (rpo l47 - vin8 c) to address concerns with underhood fuel leakage from cracked fuel rails and, in some of the vehicles, cracked fuel return lines. According to gm, the nylon tubing (pa12) used in the fuel rail construction in these vehicles may degrade and crack.gm's supplier attributed the cracking to the combined effects of heat, time, alcohol fuel, fuel pressure cycling, and design stresses.in addition, gm stated that the my 1995 aurora uses a unique underhood fuel return line that may also crack at unusually high rates.gm dealers will install a new fuel rail constructed out of stainless steel in all of the recalled vehicles and will also install a revised chassis fuel return line in the my 1995 auroras. On april 16, 2004, general motors notified odi that it was adding approximately 389,000 my 1995-97 cadillac seville, deville and eldorado vehicles equipped with 4.6l v8 engines (rpo's ld8 and l37 - vin8 y and 9) to recall 04v‑110.the recalled cadillacs will receive the new stainless steel fuel rails.this engineering analysis is closed.

Fuel rail leakage
The fuel rail assemblies used in the subject vehicles were manufactured by dana.the fuel rail jumper tubes were made of monolayer nylon 12 (pa12).in model year (my) 1998, the jumper tube material was changed from pa12 to m-bond (a multi-layer ptfe/pa12).in addition, all service parts produced since the end of production 1997 use the m-bond jumper tubes. Material analysis performed by dana on failed fuel rails showed that the mono-layer nylon 12 jumper tubes are susceptible to environmental stress cracking (ESC).gm believes the ESC is a result of heat, time, alcohol blended fuel, fuel pressure cycling, and designed in stress. Eight of the gm complaints are duplicative of odi complaints.odi has received 77 of it's 123 complaints in the past 12 months.fuel rail part sales over the last three years range from 3.0 percent of production for the my 1997 cadillac vehicles to 13.1 percent for the my 1995 auroras.at least one of the fire incidents occured while the vehicle was parked within a garage attached to the consumers home.the fire resulted in damage to the dwelling as well as the total loss of the vehicle.this investigation has been upgraded to an engineering analysis.

Re: the federal safety agency:04v110000 - 1995 oldsmobile aurora I have had a fuel rail failure in this vehicle and gm states that the recall notice only applies to 1996-1997 vehicles. Does this mean that because this problem started and was observed in the 1995 models, that those of us with the vehicles that the problem was initially observed in can just plain go to hell and suffer the loss of a vehicle or worse still be consumed in a fire started by this defect and be politely told, "sorry, this only applies to the vehicles sent a recall notice". I believe that your recall id 04v110000 should apply to all vehicles affected, not just those gm has sent notices. It was sent to 1995 cadillac owners which has the same engine as the 1995 aurora, the aurora is 4.0 litre and the cadillac 4.6 litres - identical engines but a smaller displacement. Same configuration and fuel rail components. I was indeed very fortunate that neither a fire or other serious event happened and only wish that gm would at least acknowledge the fact that this failure was the result of the failure of the part involved in the following attachment, and be compensated for the repair of said component.
Tried starting car. Would not turn over. Car backfired under hood. Restarted car and parked it in garage. Car had an unusual odor. 35 minutes later, car was found on fire, resulting in a total loss to vehicle and damage to garage. Fire department stated fire started in/near area of fuel injector. No sure of oem. Consumer is requesting compensation.
Gm recall of olds aurora 1995 fuel rail was replaced by dealer and a part of the rail,the regulator,with a charge of $154.00 plus tax desposal fee etc for a costof$175.62.there was no problem with the rail and it's fitting before the recall and gm will not honor the total cost of the recall.
Vehicle caught on fire and was totaled. There was a recall, but gm refused responsibility. *ak almost two years after the fire the consumer received a recall in reference to nylon tuning used in the fuel rail which could crack and result in a fuel leak or fire. The consumer would like a replacement vehicle.
