NHTSA recall 08V191000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a two piece drive shaft for failing to conform to the fuel spillage requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity." During a 30 mph frontal impact into a rigid barrier, the fuel tank can move forward and contact a frame cross member, potentially causing damage to the fuel delivery module which can result in fuel spillage.
Why it matters: Fuel spillage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will install a bracket on the affected vehicles free of charge. The recall began on May 23, 2008.
