Structure: frame and members
- What is wrong
- The crossmember frame gussets were installed with undersized threaded fasteners following a breakdown of the production rivet gun that is generally used. This gusset is the attachment point for the rear strap of the mid-ship fuel tank.
- Risk
- The subject fasteners can separate causing in the rear strap of the affected fuel tank to become disconnected. A loose or disconnected rear strap allows the fuel tank to possibly contact the road surface increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the crossmember gusset fasteners with the specified alternative fasteners (bolts).
