En outre, il se peut que sur certains camions à empattement court, l'attache de la traverse # 5 manque ou soit desserrée. C'est sur l'avant de la traverse # 5 que se fixent les feuillards retenant le réservoir auxiliaire. Si des attaches sont desserrées ou manquantes, la traverse peut, sous certaines conditions, être mal retenue; le réservoir d'essence risque alors d'être endommagé.  Une tuyauterie ou un réservoir endommagés augmentent les risques de fuite d'essence; cette fuite, en présence d'une source d'ignition, constitue un danger d'incendie."},"vehicles":[{"year":1984,"make":"FORD","model":"RANGER","vehicle_id":"1984_ford_ranger","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/1983095"}
