NHTSA recall 04V200000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Certain pickup trucks may have a fuel tank with localized depressions in the fuel tank wall at the seam between top and bottom halves of the tank. If a depression is large enough, fuel may permeate the fuel tank wall resulting in a fuel odor, or the "service engine soon" indicator light in the instrument cluster may illuminate.
Why it matters: If left uncorrected, a fuel leak could eventually develop.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel tank on these vehicles. Owner notification began on May 6, 2004. Owners should contact Ford at 1-800-248-0186.
