Sure was campaign 4678, h.o number 01753 511431
mind contact any Fiat dealer with chassis number and they will tell you if campaign due on your vehicle. (or pm me)

All this info in FAQ's

Your car will not be covered due to year of it but you will get a free replacement anyway as everyone else does

my 99 sei gasses me with petrol fumes if the tanks over half full and i go up or down a hill, no smell on the flats though, must be the top edge of the tank, took the diamond plate off today to look around the sender unit part, and the tank looks in great condition, but the fumes were still strong. i cant jack itup at the minute because its decided to break, so i can't give it a thourough looking over yet. i don't seem to be losing much fuel, if any! its just like the fuel vapour escaping, could it possibly be a seal around the sender unit or the tank breather pipe? or is it more likley to be an unseen rust hole?. i checked last night if my car was one of the recall ones for this, and it isn't, if the worst came to the worst do you think i could get a nice new tank from fiat for nothing too?

Yes you would be able to get one.

Very suprised your VIN number of car doesnt fall into the recall as you are slap bang in middle of it in terms of the year of car.

Unless it has had a previous replacement, then it may have been taken off database? Also fiat may not be as charitable for a second replacement should that be the case

When i had my recall i actually recieved a letter through the post about it. All i had to do was take the letter to my local Fiat Dealers and they replaced the fuel tank there for free! Although they decided to check around my car for other faults too and charge me.. Ggrr!
