What owners wrote
I had a 1996 oldsmobile aurora that the engine exploded into fire due to leaking fuel probably from the fuel rails that were plastic and are being recalled now. GM refused my claim at the time but now sent me a recall notice.
Tl* the contact owns a 1996 oldsmobile aurora. The contact stated that gasoline fuel would leak onto the fuel lines abnormally. The vehicle was repaired under NHTSA campaign id number 04v110000 (fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings), but the failure recurred. The dealer offered to assist the contact with repairing the failure. The manufacturer was notified, but denied any assistance with repairs to the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired.
