What is wrong
TWO TOP MOUNTING STRAPS SECURE THE FUEL TANK TO THE FRAME. BREAKAGE HAS OCCURRED WHERE THE STRAP BOLTS TO THE FRAME RAIL.
What can happen
IF THE STRAP BREAKS, THE FUEL TANK CAN MOVE AND RUB AGAINST THE FLOOR OF THE BODY AND THE FUEL LINES CAN BE DAMAGED.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A STRONGER STRAP REPLACING THE UPPER STRAP. A FRAME CROSSMEMBER/CHANNEL, DESIGNED TO BOLT ONTO THE FRAME LOWER FLANGES DIRECTLY BEHIND THE FUEL TANK, WILL BE INSTALLED WHEN THE CHASSIS DESIGN DID NOT PLACE A FRAME CROSSMEMBER WITHIN 2" MEASURED FROM THE REAR OF THE FUEL TANK.

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.
