The file shows that this cars has had the fuel tank strap we're replace as the recall stipulated but on October 2013 the fuel tank started to leak. After inspection, there was a lot of wear between the fuel strap and the tank itself, enough wear to start leaking. When removing the strap, the fuel started leaking a lot more. There was enough movement that the steel on the tank where the tank passes was shiny. Had to replace the tank and pay for it myself.
