What is wrong
The fuel tank attachment strap fasteners were not properly tightened. The fasteners can completely detach, eventually allowing the fuel tank to sag and the bottom of the tank to strike the roadway.
The risk
This can result in a fuel tank leak and fire if the leaking fuel is exposed to a source of ignition.
The fix
Dealers will retighten the fuel tank strap fasteners.
