The problem
The fuel tank cage assembly bolts mounting the vertical straps to the horizontal angle were assembled with the threaded end of the bolts facing the fuel tank.
The risk
If the fuel tank cage is struck with sufficient force itis possible for the bolts to pierce the fuel tank and cause fuel leakage.Fuel leakage exposed to a source of ignition can result in a fire.
The fix
The fuel tank cage mounting bolts will be removed and reinstalled with the bolt head toward the tank.
