Defect
On heavy-duty tractors with a relocated fuel tank, an improper welding process was used on the support bracket that secures the tank bracket, which may cause the support bracket to crack. If the vehicle continues to be operated in this condition, the crack may propagate. In the worst case, the fuel tank may tilt and detach from the vehicle.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fuel tank bracket and support bracket with corrected/revised parts.
