You can tell this wasn't a Ford recall, it wasn't dragged through the media
for months before owners filed a classs action lawsuit and forced them to
issue the recall....... Hehe.

>
> AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- DaimlerChrysler Corp. will voluntarily
> recall 1.4 million minivans because of a long-term durability
> issue involving a fuel rail seal. This preventive measure af-
> fects 1996-99 and some 2000 model year Dodge Caravan and Grand
> Caravan, Plymouth Voyager and Grand Voyager and Chrysler Town
> & Country minivans with 3.3- and 3.8-liter V-6 engines. It
> does not affect "flexible-fuel" vehicles and 2000 model year
> minivans built after September 1999. Not does it affect the
> new, redesigned 2001 model year Chrysler and Dodge minivans.
> DaimlerChrysler Corp. has received reports of 43 leaking fuel
> rail seals among these 1.4 million minivans -- about 3 per
> 100,000 vehicles. The problem is likely to occur only in
> vehicles repeatedly operated at elevated temperatures over
> many years -- as a result of extensive stop-and-go driving,
> for example. The recall is being conducted to prevent future
> problems. The repair requires installation of an overlay de-
> vice that encases and reinforces the seal. Customers will be
> notified when these parts become available in March -- after
> they are tested and an adequate number are produced. The auto-
> maker warns customers that any smell of gasoline in their ve-
> hicle should prompt them to immediately visit the nearest dealer
> for an inspection. Owners of the recalled vehicles may call 800
> -853-1403 for more information. International customers may call
> 248-512-7730.
