S&B Filters, Inc.: Diesel Fuel Tanks for RAM Mega Cab Recalled for Fire Risk

Agency Publication Date: August 17, 2022

Summary

S&B Filters, Inc. is recalling approximately 910 replacement Diesel Fuel Tanks (part number 10-1021) designed for certain RAM Mega Cab vehicles. The fuel tanks were manufactured with inadequate vapor space, which can cause them to swell during use. This swelling may lead the tank to rub against the vehicle's driveline, potentially resulting in a fuel leak and increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will perform a free venting modification to resolve the issue.

Risk

Insufficient clearance due to tank swelling can cause the fuel tank to contact the rotating driveline, which may wear a hole in the tank and cause fuel to leak in the presence of an ignition source.
