From a whole file of Vanagon recalls by NHTSA that I downloaded from vanagon.com web site files section IIRC:

----------------------------------------- 1986 Vanagon through 1991 Vanagon Built from 1985 Aug to 1991 Jun Campaign 93V175000 No. Recalled: 29,500 Campaign SU Notification Date: System: Air Conditioner hose; Duct; Air. Vehicle Description: Vans equipped with factory air conditioning.

Description of Defect: The plastic material of the center air flow duct, which is fastened by two mounting screws to the ceiling of the passenger compartment, can crack and eventually break.

Consequence of Defect: If the plastic breaks where it is held at the two mounting screws, the center air flow duct can separate from its supports and cause injury to the passengers sitting in the center seat of the vehicle.

Corrective Action: Dealers will install a reinforcement plate at the connections of both the center and rear air flow ducts.

Hope this helps,

Sam
