2002–2003 Cadillac Deville & 2002–2003 Cadillac Seville + 2 more recall: fuel system

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain cadillac Deville and Seville passenger vehicles, funeral coaches, and limousines equipped with a V8 (4.6L) engine, oldsmobile Aurora passenger vehicles equipped with a V8 (4.0L ) engine, and pontiac Bonneville ssei passenger vehicles equipped with a supercharged V6 (3.8L) engine, the fuel tank pressure sensors are unusually susceptible to malfunctions. If the sensor malfunctions, excessive vacuum CAN be applied during self-diagnostic testing.

Fuel system components CAN be damaged and fuel CAN leak from the vehicle when it is refueled. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source CAN result in a fire.

Dealers will replace the fuel tank pressure sensor. Owner notification began on october 17, 2003. Owners should contact cadillac at 1-866-982-2339; oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537; or pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
