ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3800 V6 \(L36\) ENGINES AND CERTAIN DELPHI FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS, THE REGULATORS HAVE A MUCH HIGHER THAN USUAL RATE OF FUEL LEAKS.

Built 1997\-03\-01 to 1998\-08\-31.

## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2003283](/recalls/tc/2003283.md), 2003-11-12: Engine. On certain vehicles, a combination of a low battery condition and fuel in the upper intake manifold while the ignition key is activated at engine start could cause an elevated rate of manifold over\-pressurization events.  The operator may experience a loud bang / intake backfire that could rupture the intake manifold, resulting in emitting dust from under the hood and a no\-start condition.  If this event were to occur, and if an ignition source were present, an engine compartment fire could occur.  Correction:  Dealer will replace the fuel pressure regulator.

Correction:  Dealers will install a new vehicle emission control label on the radiator support.
