What's wrong, in plain English

Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Wrangler vehicles because a stud on the frame assembly may puncture the fuel tank if the vehicle is in a crash. If the stud punctures the tank in a collision, fuel can leak out of the tank afterward. This fuel leak would happen as a result of the frame stud coming into contact with the tank during a crash, rather than under normal driving conditions.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Jeep dealer to have the frame inspected and, if necessary, the stud removed; FCA US customer service is 1-800-853-1403.
3. The repair is free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 23V191000.
