# Service bulletin 14S22

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- NHTSA id: 10076517
- Published by NHTSA: 2016\-07\-14

## NHTSA's summary

Fuel Tank Corrosion Inspection and Repair REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM In some of the affected vehicles that are operated in high\-corrosion environments associated with road salt use, moisture and salt may become trapped under the fuel tank mounting reinforcement brackets at the four corners where the fuel tank is attached to the vehicle. Over time, corrosion under these reinforcement brackets can spread to the fuel tank which can result in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Owners that operate their vehicle in a corrosive environment \(e.g., where road salt is used in winter months\) or have concerns about their fuel tank are eligible for a repair under this Regional Program.
