## What is wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES.   THE FUEL TANK STRAP CAN SEPARATE DUE TO FATIGUE DURING OPERATION.  IF THIS OCCURS, THE TANK WILL BE UNSUPPORTED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FUEL LEAK.


## What can happen

FUEL LEAKAGE,  IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DOUBLE TOGGLE LOCK FUEL TANK STRAPS WITH SINGLE TOGGLE LOCK DESIGN.    NOTE:  AFFECTED VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH MAY 21, 1998, ALSO REQUIRE THE REAR BRAKE TUBE INSPECTION/REPAIR.  AS A RESULT, THE FUEL TANK STRAP AND BRAKE TUBE REPAIR WILL BE PERFORMED ON THESE VHEICLES IN A SINGLE SERVICE PROCEDURE UNDER RECALL 99V\-341/DAIMLERCHRYSLER \#841.  AFFECTED VEHICLES BUILT FROM MAY 22, 1998 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 25, 1999, ONLY REQUIRE THE FUEL TANK STRAP REPAIR, WHICH WILL BE PERFORMED UNDER RECALL 99V\-342/DAIMLERCHRYSLER \#842.
