What NHTSA recorded

The four bolts used to attach each fuel tank support bracket to the frame contain "quench cracks" due to improper heat treatment in the manufacturing process. These defective bolts could give way, allowing the fuel tank to become dislodged from the bracket or the bracket from the frame.

Remedy

All bolts and nuts used to attach the fuel tank brackets to the frames will be replaced at no charge to owner.
