Recall 01V114000: Possible Fuel Tank Crack

Vehicle Description: Wagons, and certain vans with ambulance prep packages. In certain severe-duty applications involving operation at or near Gross Vehicle Weight with frequent twisting of the vehicle body, such as off-road, rough road or speed bump events, the 35 gallon mid-ship fuel tank could develop a crack where it contacts the frame cross member. If the fuel tank cracks, fuel leakage could occur. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and, if cracked, will replace the tank. Insulator pads will be installed on all vehicles to reduce the stress levers in the fuel tank.
