Complaint Summary
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Owner Narrative
THE LOWER HALF OF THE REAR GAS TANK STRAP HAS ROTTED OUT AND DISLODGED FROM THE UPPER HALF OF THE STRAP. THE FRONT STRAP ALSO HAS VISIBLE CORROSION. A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO FIND THE LOWER HALF OF THE STRAP, AS I WAS MOVING FIREWOOD ON MY PROPERTY. I FEEL BLESSED THAT I FOUND THE ISSUE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING. I BELIEVE IF UNDETECTED, THE RELEASE OF THE GAS FROM THE CHASSIS WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN CATASTROPHIC. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS! *TR
