## What is wrong

On certain E\-350 and E\-450 cutaway vehicles with school bus prep packages and some Econoline E\-350 vans, certain frame rail tank guard brackets may have been omitted during vehicle assembly.  These brackets are intended to prevent frame edge to fuel tank contact during a vehicle crash.  As these vehicles were not evaluated for compliance without the use of brackets, their performance during a vehicle crash is thereby unknown.  Should the tank be damaged enough to cause a fuel leak a vehicle fire could ensue, which may result in personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if missing, install the brackets.
