Details

What's wrong: The protective shield on the fuel conditioning module may have inadequate adhesion, allowing the shield to become dislodged.

Why it matters: If the shield becomes dislodged, the drain valve may open resulting in a fuel leak. A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of a fire. Under certain conditions, significant liquid fuel on the road surface may cause a slip hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the protective shield, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2016.
