Risk
A FUEL LINE WHICH HAS BEEN DAMAGED BY THE HEAT OF THE"AIR" CHECK VALVE MAY LEAK FUEL INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHERE IT COULDRESULT IN A FIRE IF EXPOSED TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION.
Remedy
REROUTE ANY MISROUTED FUEL LINES TO THE PROPER POSITION, AND REPLACE ANY FUEL LINE BUNDLE WHERE THE OUTER SHELL HAS BEEN MELTED THROUGH.
All recalls issued for this model year. To see whether any are still unrepaired on a specific vehicle, check its VIN at NHTSA.

I ALSO OWNED A PONTIAC FIREBIRD 1997 THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, MOREOVER THESE TWO CARS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME EXCEPT FOR THE BODY. THIS IS A GM PROBLEM IN LIEU OF BOTH CARS BEING MADE BY GM.

Air bagsCrash1 injuredFiled Mar 10, 2007
THE AIR BAG IN MY CAMARO DEPLOYED AT THE SPEED OF 20 MPH COMING OUT AT 200 MILES PER HOUR; 2,000 LBS. OF PRESSURE PER SQUARE INCH AND THE FORCE OF A 12-GUAGE-SHOTGUN BLAST (ACCORDING TO YOUR WEBSITE AND OTHER RESEARCH- WHICH I HAVE A FULL OUTLINE ON, COMPLETE WITH SOURCES) IN MY FACE. HAD THE AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE, WHERE THE SHOULDER HARNESS AND/OR SEATBELT WOULD HAVE MORE THAN SUFFICED. THE WARNING POSTED ON THE DASH AND STEERING WHEEL OR VISOR IS FOR CHILDREN UNDER 12; HOWEVER, I STAND 61 INCHES IS TALL AND 112 POUNDS; THE AVERAGE 12-YEAR OLD IS ABOUT THIS SIZE. THERE IS NO WARNING FOR SMALL WOMEN. THE AIR BAG CAUSED A FRONTAL LOBE INJURY, (I WAS UNCONSCIOUS FOR 45 MINUTES) A BROKEN NOSE, ABRASIONS ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE, RUPTURED TWO DISCS IN MY NECK (C5 AND C6) AND FURTHER INJURING MY SPINAL CORD (MYLEOMALACIA). THE RUPTURED DISCS IN MY NECK ARE PRESSING INWARDS AGAINST MY SPINAL CORD, AND THE RESULTING SPINAL CORD AND NERVE COMPRESSION ARE AFFECTING PRIMARILY MY HANDS, AS WELL AS MY NECK, LEFT SHOULDER, SHOULDER BLADE AND LEG MOVEMENTS. THE PAIN IS HORRENDOUS-THE NERVE PAIN. THIS COST ME MY CAREER AS A LEGAL SECRETARY OF 23 YEARS BECAUSE THE NERVES THAT ARE AFFECTED ARE PRIMARILY IN MY HANDS. I HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY OR I MIGHT PICK UP A SUITCASE ONE DAY AND PARALYZE MYSELF, ACCORDING TO MY NEUROLOGIST. I HAVE APPLIED FOR DISABILITY AND AWAITING THE ROUND OF APPEALS AS IT ALWAYS GOES HERE IN TEXAS. I AM NOT MARRIED AND HAD NO OTHER RESOURCES. I LOST MY CAR, MY HOUSE AND MY HEALTH DUE TO THIS AIR BAG. THERE ARE TWO ISSUES HERE: 1) THE SENSITIVITY OF THE AIR BAG; THE SPEED AT WHICH IT HIT ME AND THE SUBSEQUENT PERMANENT INJURIES; AND 2) THE LAW THAT STILL SAYS IF YOU HIT SOMEONE IN THE REAR, IT IS AUTOMATICALLY YOUR FAULT. THERE ARE MANY STAGED ACCIDENTS WHERE THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS TO PAY AND PEOPLE ARE INJURED, ALL FOR THE SAKE OF GETTING LARGE SUMS OF MONEY FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. *JB
