Other Fuel System Fuel Injection System Problems of Oldsmobile Aurora

On March 4, 2004, a recall was issued for my car - components fuel system, gasoline: delivery: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings. Nhtsa campaign id number: 04v110000. Nhtsa action number: ea04003. I went to the dealer in 2004 and they replaced my fuel rail. They did not replace the fuel return line. The recall states "additionally, the 1995 model year uses a unique underhood fuel return line that may crack. Cracking of the fuel rail or return line tubing can result in a fuel leak into the engine compartment. Consequence: fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. " my car is a 1997. The return line has, so far, cracked four times and each time I was fortunate to not have the car catch on fire while I drove to my mechanic who was able to splice it. It is now too short to splice anymore and I have no doubt it will crack again. Today I went to a local dealer and he said repair/replacement of the line is not covered under this recall. It is the same dangerous problem for which the 1995 Aurora was recalled. I am retired and living solely on social security. I do not have money to get this fixed (the dealer said minimum $500 and could go beyond $1,000). I see no reason why this should not be covered. It is a fault of the manufacturer using substandard "rubber" or whatever is cracking which can not handle the extremely high pressure of the fuel injection system in that line.
