NHTSA Complaint #11468322 — 2014 RAM 1500

I HAVE A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 94000 MILES GAS TANK FELL AND THE HANGER WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE DRIVESHAFT WHICH WAS MAKE A NOISE SO I INVESTIGATED IT WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK I HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AS THIS RECALL Part 573 Safety Recall Report 18V-160 :The fuel tank is held in place by a front strap and a rear strap. The front fuel tank strap frame “T -Slot” bracket may corrode permitting the front fuel tank strap to detach. With the front fuel tank strap detached, the fuel tank is primarily secured by the rear strap, however, the front of the fuel tank may be allowed to lower several inches.Description of the Safety Risk : Based upon FCA US’ investigation of this issue, and review of the available information, data, and analysis, and considering approximately nine years of field experience, as well as the audible notice provided to the operator to detect when this condition is present, FCA US has determined that the detachment of the front fuel tank strap in the subject vehicles could potentially allow the front of the fuel tank to make contact with the ground, increasing the risk of a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
