Summary

The involved vehicles were manufactured without the midship fuel tank protective shields. As a result, they do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity", due to excessive fuel spillage upon frontal impact.

Actions

The involved vehicles will be inspected and, if necessary, a fuel tank shield will be installed at no charge to owner.
