What is wrong
DUE TO INSTALLATION DIFFICULTIES DURING MODIFICATION OF THE FUEL PUMP, THE PUMP MAY HAVE BEEN MISALIGNED. CERTAIN ADVERSE CONDITIONS OR HIGH LOADS SUCH AS TRAILER TOWING, MOTOR SPORTS EVENTS, OR OTHER DRIVING MODES WHICH IMPOSE ABNORMALLY HIGH LOADS ON THE VEHICLES, COMBINED WITH LOW LEVELS OF FUEL IN THE TANK, MAY CAUSE LACK OF VEHICLE POWER AND STALLING.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE SUBMERGED FUEL PUMP SUPPORT BRACKET WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED TYPE WHICH AVOIDS INSTALLATION DIFFICULITIES. THIS WILL BE DONE WITHOUT CHARGE.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
