The problem
Vehicles are not in compliance with the impact test requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 301, "fuel system integrity." The structure of the rear step bumper may not withstand a rear end collision similar to the force created in testing; fuel leakage may occur upon impact.
The fix
A fuel tank protective skid plate will be installed free of charge.
