What is wrong
On certain vehicles, the fuel tank may contain a manufacturing flaw - a dimple in the bottom, at a spot weld. This dimple could result in fuel weepage or a fuel drip from the tank. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire, causing property damage, personal injury, or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if a dimple is found, will replace the fuel tank.

| 14S22 | 2016-07-14. Service bulletin. 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. |
