They hook in to all of the DMV registries with the VIN's and then they got your name and address.

Thats kind of a kick to all the guys that have spent time and money tweeking and tuning their pumps isn't it? Take out your custom fuel pins and governor springs,and get ready to do it again. What is the safety concern?

Wonder if this is still honored?

*IF* my IP has the "bad" #'s, wonder if pulling the 3200 spring & rotating the diaphragm bad to stock would null anything?

Oops! Forgot about the missing caps from the idle & fuel screws!

I'm amazed they would still be sending out pump recall notices 13 years on. Mine has a recall pump, and I'd wager the majority of those that needed one got it back in 1994-5 right after the TSB came out.

Hmm.....what about people who have already had the pump replaced? Will this recall be honored for the newer replaced pump?
Maybe we could get our existing pumps replaced and put off to the side for later use...thats several hundred we could all save.
If only...its nice to dream.

I'll check the numbers tonight and IF they are in the recalled batch...

I'll arm myself with the TSB and toddle down to the Dodge store...

And I'll be sure to report back here what happens then!

I believe that was a safety recall and it never ends. Federal law requires that even a junk truck must be completed if it can be located.

I had heard about this 3 or 4 years ago and got the contact number off the net. Gave them the vin number and the number on the pump. They made all the arrangements with the local dealship. The dealership called me for an appointment to replace the pump. No questions was asked and no cost.
