Ford during vehicle production, the fuel tank attachment bolts may not have been properly tightened.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the tank assembly mounting. Here is what owners need to know.
During vehicle production, the fuel tank attachment bolts may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the fuel tank straps may fracture and the fuel tank could separate from the vehicle.
If the fuel tank separates from the vehicle, a fuel leak may occur, increasing the risk of a fire.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the fuel tank attachment bolts, as necessary, free of charge.
