If the mid-frame cross member tears during frontal impact and produces a sharp edge, contact of the sharp edge with the fuel tank may result in a puncture of the fuel tank and possible fuel leakage.  If a sufficient amount of fuel were to leak out and if an ignition source were present, a vehicle fire could occur.  Correction:  Dealer will install a fuel tank shield.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"03002","part_number":null,"units":383,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Système d'alimentation en carburant","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules de la série 2500, une déchirure peut se produire dans la traverse du milieu du cadre, à l'endroit où elle est fixée au longeron gauche, si une collision d'une gravité suffisante survient du côté avant gauche, à un angle de 30 degrés par rapport à l'avant. Si la traverse du milieu de cadre se déchire lors d'une collision et que la déchirure produit une arête coupante, il se peut que cette arête perce le réservoir de carburant et cause une fuite d'essence. Si une quantité suffisante d'essence venait à se répandre et qu'il y ait une source d'allumage à proximité, un incendie peut s'ensuivre.
