Here is the complete link for recalls. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/. The recall you referred to applies to many years. http://nhthqnwws112.odi.nhtsa.dot.go...-90V061-NN.PDF. I had it done on my 1988. Call the dealer, I'm not sure how long they have to honor recall defects tho.

Forever, if it's a safety recall. I'm having the little J jumper fuel line replaced next year under a safety recall (didn't have time this year)

if you're not the original owner, i'd bet someone replaced it.

i replaced mine because of cracks, not the recall, shortly after i got the car, 2 1/2 years ago.

what if it wasn't replaced at a dealer, cracks are the test?

If it wasnt replaced at the dealer it wasnt replaced under warrantee, so its still open, and can still recieve one.
