The problem

The corrosion protection of the fuel tank mounting deteriorates allowing water and foreign material to corrode the tank mounting flange directly.

The risk

Over an extended period of time, this corrison can weaken the flange causing it to break allowing the fuel tank to drop and contact the surface of the ground. The tank could then rupture and result in a vehicle fire.

The fix

Dealers will replace the fuel tank mounting flange cradle.
