I am not sure - if I find out I will let the list know. I guess it would 
depend on how many units show the fault. I believe that they will only be 
replacing units that exhibit the problem.

As I understand it the official cause of the problem was the level sensor 
catching on a resistor plate that was used to indicate the level in the 
tank. In the manufacturing process, some of the boards has some small 
imperfections which would catch the plates of the sensor. After a while the 
sensor would become freed and move back to the normal position. On others 
it would not move from empty. (that's what I remember - it may be 
completely wrong).

In any event if you have a working fuel gauge now, it should continue to be 
a working fuel gauge.
