Official description
特定の2500シリーズ車両において、30度の左角度前面衝突が十分な大きさで発生した場合、ミッドフレームクロスメンバーが左フレームレールへの取付部で破裂する可能性があります。前面衝突時にミッドフレームクロスメンバーが破裂して鋭い端面を生じた場合、その鋭い端面が燃料タンクに接触して燃料タンクが穴あきになり、燃料漏れの可能性があります。十分な量の燃料が漏れ出し、点火源が存在した場合、車両火災が発生する可能性があります。対策：ディーラーが燃料タンクシールドを取り付けます。 Machine translation (unreviewed)
On certain 2500 series vehicles, a tear could develop in the mid-frame cross member at its attachment to the left frame rail during a 30 degree left angle frontal impact of sufficient severity. If the mid-frame cross member tears during frontal impact and produces a sharp edge, contact of the sharp edge with the fuel tank may result in a puncture of the fuel tank and possible fuel leakage. If a sufficient amount of fuel were to leak out and if an ignition source were present, a vehicle fire could occur. Correction: Dealer will install a fuel tank shield.
