Recently, GM issued a car recall for Hummer H3T vehicle from the 2009 model year because of a faulty fuel tank front support strap, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The number of the involved Hummer H3T is 1,738.
The strap may fracture, leaving the fuel tank supported by only the rear support strap and stone shield. If stress caused either of those to fail, the fuel tank could fall off the vehicle while it’s in motion — a dangerous situation to be sure.
