Unsafe Condition

A manufacturing quality non-conformity resulted in the under-crimping of ring tags on a batch of In-tank Fuel Harnesses. The failure of one or more ring tag crimp connections may result in the disconnection of the electrical wire, with a possibility that loose wire ends can contact the tank structure, potentially causing ignition in a fuel tank and danger of fire or explosion.
