ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE ENGINE OIL COOLING LINES ARE WEEPING. WHEN I LOOK THE PROBLEM UP ONLINE I FINE A RECALL BY THE MANUFACTURER: 85C1466A AUG 85 CAMPAIGN - ENGINE OIL COOLER HOSE MAY BURST. AND 85C1466AZ AUG 85 CAMPAIGN - ENGINE OIL COOLER HOSE MAY FAIL. CONTAINED IN THE RECALL DOCUMENT: "DEALER CAMPAIGN RESPONSIBILITY: "DEALERS ARE TO SERVICE ALL VEHICLES SUBJECT TO THIS CAMPAIGN AT NO CHARGE TO OWNERS, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE, AGE OF VEHICLE, OR OWNERSHIP, FROM THIS TIME FORWARD." I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT DEALERS ARE NOT HONORING THIS RECALL ANY LONGER. IS THERE A TIME LIMIT WHEN THEY HAVE STATED: "DEALERS ARE TO SERVICE ALL VEHICLES SUBJECT TO THIS CAMPAIGN AT NO CHARGE TO OWNERS, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE, AGE OF VEHICLE, OR OWNERSHIP, FROM THIS TIME FORWARD."? *TR
