“My truck had been fixed and inspected under a recall for the fuel tank straps. Immediately after filling my fuel tank for the first time after the repair gasoline start leaking out of the tank. Took the truck back to the dealership where I was informed that my fuel tank was corroded and needed replaced but that it wouldn't be covered as part of the recall. Why was I not even informed of the condition of my fuel tank when my truck had just been serviced and inspected? Prior to the dealership replacing my fuel tank straps I had no problems with any part of my fuel system.”
