Town & Country Van AWD V6-230 3.8L VIN L SMFI (1998)
Fuel Rail: All Technical Service Bulletins
Recall 00V268000: Fuel Rail Cracks/Leaks
Mini vans built with 3.3L and 3.8L engines. The fuel injection delivery system can leak fuel from some of the sealing O-rings or from hair line cracks in
the thermoset fuel injection rail.
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
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.
DaimlerChrysler has not yet provided NHTSA with an owner notification schedule.
However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the O-rings or from a cracked fuel line, 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 1-800-992-1997. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety
Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
