NHTSA Complaint #10237598 — 1995 FORD WINDSTAR

1995 FORD WINDSTAR FUEL TANK CRACK - REPLACED FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY AT MY EXPENSE ON AUGUST 08, 2008. WHEN THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED ABOUT POSSIBLE RECALLS ON THIS ITEM, THEIR REPLY WAS "NO RECALLS EXIST". UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THEIR WAS INDEED A RECALL, FORD RECALL NO. 99R33, AND AN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NO. 99V309000. ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN DECEMBER 22, 1999. I AM THE SOLE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE AT FORD DEALERSHIPS SINCE THAT DATE, AND HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED. "RECALL SEARCH" FROM THE FORD WEBSITE YIELDS ZERO RESULTS. AFFECTED OWNERS ARE NOT BEING NOTIFIED ON POSSIBLE RECALLS TO THEIR VEHICLES. ANY ASSISTANCE IN RECOVERING MY EXPENSES AND PROPER REPLACEMENT OF THE AFFECTED RECALLED PARTS FROM THIS DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED AT NO COST BY THE DEALER, WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
