## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the molded fuel tanks are slightly thinner than specification in the area under the fuel sender unit.  This may allow the tank floor to deform causing the fuel sender float to interfere with other features inside the tank.  This could cause the instrument panel fuel gauge to show a fuel level of approximately one quarter tank when the fuel tank is empty.  An inaccurate fuel gauge can lead to engine stalling while driving, which may increase the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Letters will be sent to owners in two stages.  The first letter will advise owners of fuel gauge inaccuracy and recommend maintaining a fuel level above the one half position.  The second letter will follow, requesting owners bring their vehicles to a dealer for replacement of the fuel sender unit.
