The problem
REAR BUMPER SYSTEM ON CERTAIN VEHICLES MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY WELDED DURING ASSEMBLY. IN THE EVENT OF A REAR END COLLISION, THE RIGHT SIDE BUMPER SUPPORTOR COULD BREAK LOOSE, DAMAGE THE FUEL TANK AND ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK.
What owners should do
A REINFORCEMENT PLATE WILL BE INSTALLED, IF NECESSARY, TO PREVENT FUEL TANK DAMAGE. WORK WILL BE PERFORMED AT NO COST TO OWNERS.
