Have a 1996 Aurura with 4 liter. Have taken vehicle with recall notice
for fuel rail replacement to my local GM dealer in Newfoundland Canada.
They tell me that this is only a recall for the US and not a Canadian
recall. If this is a safety recall I would think it would apply every where.

I bought one almost 2 years ago and just today it started smoking and smelling fuel but there's no leaks and the gas gauge went down so fast plus fuel comes out the tail pipe!
