Hazard

In the fuel system, the mounting hole position of the bracket that secures the fuel tank to the frame is improper, causing the fuel tank to be mounted in an incorrect position. Engine vibration is transmitted to the fuel tank through the bracket, resulting in resonance between the tank and bracket support, which causes cracks to develop at the welded joint between the support and fuel tank. In the worst case, fuel may leak.

Remedy

Replace the bracket with a corrective-action part on all vehicles.
