Ray,
The model year information is curious.  When the first thread about the
fuel injector recall came out, i called a dealer and asked about it.
They did a search using the VIN for my 1987 van and said that the
service had been performed in 1991.  I tried searching the NHTSA
database, but didn't come up with a fuel injector recall for 87 model
year (BTW, specify volkswagen truck when searching for vanagon).  Was
there an earlier injector campaign as well?  I did find a recal campaign
about fuel hoses attached to fuel rail that degrade over time.

later,
freddie
