On certain short and long wheel base regular cab vehicles, the frame may have a center rail section flange that was not properly formed. In the event of a collision, an improperly formed center rail section could potentially puncture the fuel tank, resulting in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect the frame flange in the area of the fuel tank and, if it is found to be malformed, will replace the vehicle.
