The issue
UNDER HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES AND THE FUEL TANK BETWEEN 1/4 AND 1/2 FULL, THE FUEL TANK INTERNAL PRESSURE CAN INCREASE CAUSING THE TANK TO EXPAND. TANK EXPANSION CAUSES AN INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK PROTECTIVE SHIELD AND THE PROPELLER SHAFT RESULTING IN A HOLE IN THE FUEL TANK AT THE POINT OF CONTACT. THIS COULD RESULT IN FUEL LEAKAGE, AND IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A POSSIBLE FIRE.CORRECTION: A SUPPLEMENTAL FUEL TANK VENTING SYSTEM WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
