What is wrong
AN "L" SHAPED BRACKET WELDED TO THE FUEL TANK SUFFERS FROM FATIGUE FAILURE OF THE STRAP WELD TO THE FUEL TANK. WHEN ONE STRAP FAILS, THE TANK WILL ALLOW THE TANK TO MOVE WILL THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, CAUSING INCREASED FATIGUE TO OTHER TANK ATTACHMENT WELDS.
What can happen
IF SEVERAL TANK STRAP WELDS FAIL BEFORE CORRECTIVE ACTION CAN BE PERFORMED, THE FUEL TANK CAN SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, CAUSING A ROAD HAZARD.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
SPRINGS AT THE FOUR LOWER STRAP MOUNT CONNECTIONS TO THE LOWER FRAME HAVE BEEN POSITIONED TO COMPENSATE FOR FRAME MOVEMENT. THESE SPRINGS WILL PROVIDE CONSISTENT STRAP FORCE AROUND THE TANK REGARDLESS OF FRAME MOVEMENT.

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.
