1984 Ford Ranger Recall

THE NYLON AUXILIARY FUEL TANK SENDING AND RETURN LINES MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED DURING ASSEMBLY BY THE LEFT FRONT FASTENERS WHICH ATTACH THE NO. 5 FRAME CROSSMEMBERS TO THE FRAME SIDE RAILS. IN ADDITION, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE NO. 5 CROSSMEMBER FASTENERS MAY BE LOOSE OR MISSING ON A FEW SHORT-WHEELBASE TRUCKS. THE NO. 5 CROSSMEMBER PROVIDES THE FRONT ATTACHMENT FOR THE AUXILIARY FUEL TANK SUPPORT STRAPS. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, LOOSE OR MISSING FASTENERS MAY NOT ADEQUATELY RETAIN THE CROSSMEMBER AND THEREFORE THE FUEL TANK, CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR FUEL TANK DAMAGE.
