NHTSA Campaign 99V068000

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:MOUNTING

Issued by GEORGIE BOY MFG., INC. · Reported Apr 6, 1999 · 490 vehicles affected

What's wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON CHRYSLER M50 AND M60 CHASSIS. THE MAIN FUEL TANK IS SUPPORTED BY TWO METAL STRAPS. THESE SUPPORTING STRAPS CAN CORRODE OVER TIME AND ALLOW THE FUEL TANK TO FALL.

Consequence

THIS TYPE OF FAILURE PRESENTS A HAZARD OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL TANK STRAPS AND WILL REPLACE ANY STRAPS THAT SHOW SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF INTEGRITY. DUE TO THE AGE OF THE CHASSIS, CHRYSLER NO LONGER PROVIDES REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK STRAPS. NEW REPLACEMENT STRAPS WILL BE FABRICATED FROM THE CHRYSLER DRAWINGS.
