What NHTSA recorded

The involved vehicles may not meet the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity". In a moving barrier impact test from the rear at 30 mph, the fastener attaching the fuel sender ground wire to the frame crossmember, aft of the fuel tank, pierced the fuel tank.

Remedy

The fuel sender ground wire attachment on all affected vehicles will be relocated to eliminate the danger, without charge to owner.
