What Happened
There's a problem with the frame rail on the driver's side of your vehicle, which might be wider than it should be.
Risk if Unfixed
If left unchecked, this could cause the frame rail to rub against the fuel tank, potentially leading to a fuel leak, which could catch fire if there's an ignition source nearby.
Free Fix
We'll inspect the frame rail and fuel tank housing for you, and if necessary, we'll fix the frame rail at no cost to you. This will be done free of charge by your local dealership.
