Fuel System, Gasoline — Storage — Tank Assembly
- Summary
- On certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, vehicles, during a 30 degree left angle frontal impact of sufficient severity, a tear could develop in the mid-frame cross member at its attachment to the left frame rail. If the mid-frame cross member tears during frontal impact and produces a sharp edge, contact of the sharp edge with the fuel tank could result in a puncture of the fuel tank and possible fuel leakage.
- Actions
- Dealers will install a fuel tank shield. Owner notification began February 20, 2003.
