Fuel System problems/recalls

I was talking to a friend of mine here recently who told me that RX7's were supposed to have a lot of problems and recalls with the fuel systems.
Is this true?
Are there any other common flaws with the car?
 
Unaware of recalls but the pulse dampner on the fuel rail is a common site of leakage and many rx7's have caught on fire due to a leaky one. The s4 has a bolt on unti whereas the s5 was made onto the fuel rail.
 
+1 on the pulse dampner I have seen quite a few 7s in the junk yard that have had engine fires
 
EEK!
I definitely don't want that happening to my baby.
What would be the easiest preventative measure to take so that doesn't happen?
 
Ha
easy enough
Would there be any advantage to buying an aftermarket one?
Are there even any aftermarket parts for that particular piece?

Aside from aftermarket stock replacement, no there isn't one...that is unless you switch to a s4 rail (not even sure if you can do this) and put a banjo bolt in its place...I have heard mixed feelings on this though so take that suggestion with a grain of salt
