    THE SENDING UNIT WAS ORIGINALLY RECALLED UNDER CAMPAIGN NUMBER 97V194000. WHEN I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS OUTSTANDING ON MY VEHICLE. THE UNIT WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME. HOWEVER, IT IS APPARENT TO ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT SENDING UNIT IS NOT ANY MORE RELIABLE THAN THE ORIGINAL PART.
