Fuel injection racks on my 1995 grand caravan [xxx] split, spilling fuel over engine. I was told that other grand caravans were covered by a recall, but that mine was not. Fuel racks were replaced at a cost of $560.71 but chrysler refuses to reimburse me even though this failure is similar to the recall. I would like the NHTSA to reconsider the limits of its recall for this failure on grand caravans. Updated 07/25/2012
