My 2001 olds Silhouette van. Back on 08/01/08 experienced the same fuel tank failure as described in recall # 07v349000 for the 2001 Chevrolet venture van. After having the tank replaced I found out about the above recall for the same problem on the chevy van I contacted chevy customer service for repayment of the repair cost. I was informed this morning that since the NHTSA did not include my vehicle in the recall they were not responsible for the repair cost. My question is how can my van go down the same assembly line as the chevy venture and other vehicles listed in the recall experience the same failure and yet not be included?.

1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette. On August 11, 2005 the consumer was smelling gas; he looked under the vehicle and saw that the fuel lines were rusted. The mechanic at the dealership stated the fuel lines crumbled in his hands. All of the metal fuel lines for the vehicle had to be replaced. The smell was the only indicator. He checked under the hood first then crawled under the car and saw it was leaking gas.
