I just got a recall notice today that's a renotification from Feb 1994 (prior to our ownership). -- Begin letter text -- Vehicles Affected: 1986-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon and Syncro equipped with factory air conditioning Defect Description: Operation of vehicles on rough roads could, over time, cause breakage of the plastic mounting material used to attach the air conditioning flow ducts to the roof. If this happens, the center air flow duct could separate from its attachment and fall down, which could cause injury to passengers sitting in the center seat of the vehicle. It could also distract the driver. Remedy: You Volkswagen service technician will secure the air flow ducts by installing a reinforcement bracket. Brackets are available at Volkswagen repair facilities. -- End letter text -- Too bad I already ripped all that useless stuff down. :-) Maybe I can get a decent bracket for the _rear_ evaporator housing, which I now use as storage. :-) I might also see if I can get the bracket as a spare to give away (Darrell, you got my ducts...do you need it?). If your vehicle fits this description and you didn't get a notice, contact: VOA Attn: Customer Relations 3F02-SU 3800 Hamlin Rd Auburn Hills, MI 48326 800-822-8987 -Karl
