Subject

Integrity. Under certain accident conditions, the fuel tank may deform and damage an internal control valve. This could allow fuel leakage to occur if the
vehicle rolls over. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
Repair
A fuel tank blocker bracket must be installed on all involved vehicles.
