    I was at the dealership last week scheduling my Fuel Block Recall, and my service manager said there is also a brake pump recall. He ordered the parts for both recalls and i'm dropping my car off today. Anyone else know about the brake pump recall? Could it be because my car has F50 brakes?

    All 355's? Or just a curtain year? My 95 didn't need the fuel block

    My understanding is that all 355's need the fuel block up grade. Mine also is a 95 and the dealers performed this work.

    My 95 needed the fuel block done, but nothing about brakes.

    I was part of a campaign to replace the steering rack bracket. Mine was the only car FOW had done at the time.

    I thought this was for the TEVES equiped cars.....do not think it applies to the BOSCH system.

    The first F355 for 1994 with two fuel pumps don't need the fuel block upgrade. But I don't know if they've been sold in this configuration in the US. It was the ones without airbags sold in Europe.
