On certain vehicles, the thickness of fuel tank walls may not be adequate due to an issue during the manufacturing process. This could result in fuel leaking from the tank, which in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel tank.
