Defect

On large tractors in which the fuel tank has been relocated to behind the cab, the mounting bracket securing the fuel tank has insufficient strength, allowing cracks to develop in the bracket. Continued operation allows those cracks to propagate and, in the worst case, the fuel tank may detach from the vehicle.

Corrective action

Replace the mounting bracket and base material with corrected parts on all vehicles. Also replace the fuel tank and mounting band with new parts.
