Impreza 4-cyl

Subaru of America has a technical service buliten about model year 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX's having a leaky fuel like where it enters the injectors. This bulliten is not covered if the car is out of warrenty. Yet the fuel leak is so bad that when the air conditioning is turned on there is a very strong fuel smell comin from the vents. I feel that this bulliten should be a recall and not a bulliten. This kind of problem causes a huge safety rick and if a car were to catch fire from the leaky fuel it could not only destroy the car but also hurt or kill the driver and passengers.
