## What is wrong

THE FUEL TANK COULD DEVELOP A HAIRLINE CRACK ADJACENT TO A SMALL   SECTION OF SEAM WELD AT THE REAR OF THE TANK. SHOULD THIS HAPPEN, FUEL COULD SEEP OUT WHICH COULD RESULT IN FIRE IN THE EVENT OF A REAR END COLLISION.  CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND FUEL TANKS WILL BE REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
