## What is wrong

General Motors \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Sonic vehicles manufactured August 2, 2013, through August 12, 2013.  Due to insufficient welds, the front fuel tank strap bracket may separate from the vehicle.


## What can happen

If the front fuel tank strap bracket separates, the increased load may lead to the failure of the other tank support.  As a result, the fuel tank may come loose from the vehicle causing a fuel leak.  A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, may result in a fire.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front fuel tank strap bracket, and repair it as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on November 7, 2013.  Owners may contact GM at 1\-800\-521\-7300.  GM's recall campaign number is 13296.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
