Details

What's wrong: Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the fuel tank front support strap may fracture. If this occurs, the fuel tank would be supported by the rear support strap and stone shield only. Continued use of the vehicle may eventually fracture the rear support strap and shield fasteners.

Why it matters: The fuel tank could separate from the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will install a new design fuel tank front support strap free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before April 10, 2009.
