[s-cars] KY recall

[John Farr]

I had the dreaded fuel line back in '97. It was squirting fuel right at 
the turbo, but only in extreme cold. I had it fixed at the dealer with 
a different looking part to the tune of $600 (they pulled the steering 
rack), and eventually convinced AofA (out of warranty) to reimburse me 
based on it being a safety issue, armed with proof from fellow listers 
that theirs had been covered as well. I also wrote the feds. A few 
months later the recall letter came and I asked the service advisor if 
my previous repair qualified, he said he didn't know and we should do 
the recall anyway. I declined, and 8 years and 150,000 miles later the 
first repair is working fine. I received another letter last week, 
called AofA and got the same answer, they didn't know so we ought to do 
it. I think the first repair solved the problem.
	I you have the original line, get it fixed, either by you or them. 
They were prone to catastrophic failure, a few cars actually did catch 
fire.
