What NHTSA recorded

Two top mounting straps secure the fuel tank to the frame. Breakage has occurred where the strap bolts to the frame rail.

Possible consequence

If the strap breaks, the fuel tank can move and rub against the floor of the body and the fuel lines can be damaged.

Remedy

Dealers will install a stronger strap replacing the upper strap. A frame crossmember/channel, designed to bolt onto the frame lower flanges directly behind the fuel tank, will be installed when the chassis design did not place a frame crossmember within 2" measured from the rear of the fuel tank.
