2005–2006 Braun Entervan recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain minivans (buick terraza, chevrolet uplander, and pontiac montana SV6) built on platforms by braun, a fuel hose CAN rupture allowing fuel to be pumped freely from the fuel tank and into the area underneath the driver's seating position.
💥 The risk
This CAN cause unexpected vehicle deceleration or, in the presence of an ignition source, a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace a short section of the fuel line hose with a similar fuel hose with a higher pressure rating. The recall began on february 22, 2006. Owners may contact braun at 1-800-946-7513.
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.)
