On certain vehicles, fuel tanks may have been constructed of incorrect material which would prevent proper welding of the seam joining the upper and lower tank halves. This would result in fuel leakage and in the presence of an ignition source a vehicle fire. Correction: Fuel tanks will be inspected and replaced if required.
On certain vehicles, the date code on the fuel tank may have been improperly stamped, either causing a puncture or an extremely thin section of metal which could result in fuel leakage. Under some circumstances this could cause an underbody fire which could be hazardous to vehicle occupants. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and fuel tanks replaced where required.
