What is wrong
THE MOUNTING OF THE CROSSMEMBER MAY BE INSUFFICIENT. CROSSMEMBERS ARE MOUNTED TO A SHIM PIECE OF SQUARE TUBING AND THEN THIS ENTIRE STRUCTURE IS MOUNTED TO THE FRAME. THE SMALL SHIM PIECE COULD BECOME DETACHED FROM THE CROSSMEMBER WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE BODY TO MOVE DOWN TWO INCHES. THIS MOVEMENT COULD PUNCTURE THE FUEL TANK.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE CROSS MEMBER MOUNT REINFORCEMENTS WILL BE INSTALLED BY DEALER, IF NECESSARY.

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.
