What was wrong

Defect

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH INCORRECT ATTACHING U-NUTS USED TO SECURE THE REAR BUMPER LEFT ISOLATOR AND BRACKET ASSEMBLY. IN THE EVENT OF A REAR-END COLLISION, THE U-NUTS COULD CONTACT AND CUT THE FUEL TANK, CAUSING FUEL LEAKAGE.

Manufacturer remedy

DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE ATTACHING HARDWARE, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
