NHTSA recall 15V605000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: 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.
Why it matters: If the fuel tank separates from the vehicle, a fuel leak may occur, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the fuel tank attachment bolts, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on October 19, 2015.
