What owners say
1991 voyager with a fuel leak. Consumer states that the leak is at the cross over pipe on the fuel rail. He states that the leak is so bad the vehicle cannot be driven. He was informed that the recall did not apply to this vehicle.
I have a 1995 plymouth voyager that was found by my auto mechanic to be leaking fuel onto the exhaust manifold. The defective part was on recall for 1996 voyagers but not for my 1995 voyager eventhough its the same part, the fuel rail. I talked to chris in the recall center at 800‑531‑1403 and notified him of the part but he would do nothing to expand the recall to my car. There are thousands of 1995 voyagers like mine that have the possibility of catching fire because of this defective part but daimler-chrysler won't do anything about it. This is a case of gross negligence aside from the fact that they should refund my repair expenses.

Fuel system, gasoline: fuel injection system
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: mini vans built with 3.3l and 3.8l engines have fuel rails with nitrole rubber o-ring seals that can degrade over time. Fuel leakage from the underhood fuel injection fuel rail could result, increasing the likelihood of a vehicle fire.
- Risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a seal on the vehicle fuel rails to prevent external leakage of fuel from the fuel rail crossover tube, should the existing o-rings continue to degrade. Owner notification began on january 25, 2002. Due to the large quantity of vehicles involved in this campaign, the owner notification will be phased over the next several months. However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the o-rings, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact daimlerchrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.
