Defect. 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.

Risk. IF SEVERAL TANK STRAP WELDS FAIL BEFORE CORRECTIVE ACTION CAN BE PERFORMED, THE FUEL TANK CAN SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, CAUSING A ROAD HAZARD.

Remedy. 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.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
