## What is wrong

On certain 2500 series vehicles, a tear could develop in the mid\-frame cross member at its attachment to the left frame rail during a 30 degree left angle frontal impact of sufficient severity.  If the mid\-frame cross member tears during frontal impact and produces a sharp edge, contact of the sharp edge with the fuel tank may result in a puncture of the fuel tank and possible fuel leakage.  If a sufficient amount of fuel were to leak out and if an ignition source were present, a vehicle fire could occur.  Correction:  Dealer will install a fuel tank shield.
