Details

On certain vehicles, the fuel tank attachment bolts may not have been tightened adequately at time of assembly.

This could result in insufficient clamp load that could lead to fatigue and fracture of the fuel tank straps.

Fracture of the fuel tank straps could result in the fuel tank separating from the vehicle, which may result in a fuel leak.

Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage.

Correction: Dealers will torque the fuel tank attachment bolts to the required specification.
