## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the fuel tank may have received insufficient welds during manufacturing. Over time, the insufficient welds may separate and allow for fuel leakage. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage.  Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel tank.
