| Inlet check valve iicv) on the fuel storagr tank is cracked and is leaking fuel onto the fuel tank and onto the ground, this is the same problem listed in nhtsa campaign # 07v349000 and buick's, safety product bullentin 06230. on 12/04/2007 a recall was issued for replacement of the tank on the buick rendezvous, 2002 on only certain vehicles. when i called gm they said my vehicle was not covered under the recall, as they have done with numerous other owners who have to bear the cost of from $1,000.00 to $1,400.00 my estimate to replace the tank. first why isn't my vehicle part of the recall and second who decides what vehicles are elligible. this defalut is prevalent in all 2002 rendezvous and there should be no time limit restriction on failure of the fuel tank. this is a major fire saftey hazard and needs to be corrected by gm. i never received the notice of the defect so i could have been driving the vehicle and it could have caught fire and who know what would have happened. a recall notice should be issued on all 2002 rendezvous before someone is seriously injured or their house burns down from the fumes be ignited by an ignition source where they park the vehicle. ## vin failed ## | |||
