Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

What NHTSA recorded

The involved vehicles do not have a protective fuel tank shield. As a result the 137 inch and 161 inch wheelbase chassis cabs fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity". If the above vehicles undergo frontal impact, the drive shaft front universal joint may come into contact with the fuel tank, resulting in fuel spillage.

Remedy

The involved vehicles will be inspected and, if necessary, a mid-ship fuel tank shield will be installed at no charge to owner.
