Not all years have it. I believe I read it had something to do with the formulation of the sound deadening stuff late in the 2000 model year, thru 2001, and into early 2002. My wife's interior is cloth. I have heard people use Simple Green to get rid of it, I used something similar, but an orange based one. When I say "get rid of" it really isn't gone, just toned down.
I sprayed under the floor mats and up the back fire wall once a week for several months before you could notice a reduction in the intensity.
The crayon smell pulls worse when the recirc is on in the car, I noticed, because the intake is in the foot well on the passenger side...where this stuff is sprayed under the carpet.
