What can happen

Safety consequence

THE WELDING OF THE MOUNTING BRACKET OF THE GASOLINE TANK COULD FAIL TO PROPERLY SECURE THE FUEL TANK. IF THE MOUNTING BRACKET FAILS FUEL LEAKAGE AND POSSIBLE SEPARATION OF THE TANK FROM THE VEHICLE MAY OCCUR.

What fixes it

Official remedy

DEALER WILL DISCONNECT THE MOUNTING BRACKET AND REPLACE IT WITH STRAP MOUNTING AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER. IF THE FUEL TANK LEAKS, IT WILL ALSO BE REPLACED.
