Problem: General motors is recalling 1,738 my 2009 hummer h3t vehicles. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the fuel tank front support strap may fracture. If this occurs, the fuel tank would be supported by the rear support strap and stone shield only. Continued use of the vehicle may eventually fracture the rear support strap and shield fasteners.
Risk: The fuel tank could separate from the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install a new design fuel tank front support strap free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before april 10, 2009. Owners may contact hummer at 800-732-5493, or the gm owner center at ww.gmownercenter.com.
