The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. THE STEER AXLE MUDFLAPS AND/OR MUDFLAP STIFFENERS CAN RUB A HOLE IN THE FORWARD SURFACE OF THE UNDERCAB FUEL TANK, CAUSING A HOLE IN THE FUEL TANK.
Risk
THIS CAN RESULT IN FUEL LEAKAGE. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL PROVIDE REPLACEMENT MUDFLAP ASSEMBLIES SMALLER THAN THE ORIGINAL ASSEMBLIES TO OWNERS AND THE FUEL TANK WILL BE CHECKED FOR ABRASION AND REPLACED IF DAMAGED.
