The defect
The fuel tank mounting support brackets may crack at the cross section of the attachment bolt circle. If the cracking condition IS allowed to progress until a complete failure of the support brackets occur, the fuel tank can drop from the support and possibly separate from the vehicle.
The remedy
Dealer will install new mounting support brackets for both left and right side fuel tanks. Also, cross brackets which connect the two tanks together will be installed. This will be done at no cost to owner.
