What NHTSA recorded

During a change in assembly procedures, certain of the mid-ship fuel tank straps may have been improperly installed or mislocated. As a result, they fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity". In the event of a collision, excessive fuel spillage may occur.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, relocate fuel tank straps without charge to owner.
