There was and is a recall on the gas tanks of Buick Rendezvous since 2007. I was refused service by a dealer to check and inspect my gas tank. Then when I took it back to another dealer I was charged $40 to have it looked at. In 2008 another recall was issued on the gas tank. Indicating that the whole gas tank has to be replaced with a brand new one. I was never contacted by phone or mail or any other means that the gas tank on my vehicle has been recalled. I am requesting that I receive written documentation from GM that my vehicle's gas tank is included in the recall and that a dealer must replace it at not cost to me.

Inlet check valve iicv) on the fuel storage tank is cracked and is leaking fuel onto the fuel tank and onto the ground, this is the same problem listed in NHTSA campaign # 07V349000 and Buick's, safety product bulletin 06230. On 12/04/2007 a recall was issued for replacement of the tank on the Buick Rendezvous, 2002 on only certain vehicles. When I called GM they said my vehicle was not covered under the recall, as they have done with numerous other owners who have to bear the cost of from $1,000 to $1,400 my estimate to replace the tank. First why isn't my vehicle part of the recall and second who decides what vehicles are eligible. This default is prevalent in all 2002 Rendezvous and there should be no time limit restriction on failure of the fuel tank. This is a major fire safety hazard and needs to be corrected by GM. I never received the notice of the defect so I could have been driving the vehicle and it could have caught fire and who know what would have happened. A recall notice should be issued on all 2002 Rendezvous before someone is seriously injured or their house burns down from the fumes be ignited by an ignition source where they park the vehicle. ## VIN failed ##
