Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with 2.3L engines and 19 gallon Fuel tanks. The fuel tank inlet check valve may not be fully welded to the fuel tank shell.
Why it matters: An incomplete weld securing the inlet check valve to the fuel tank shell could result in a substantial fuel leak during a crash, increasing the risk of fire.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tank shell, free of charge. The recall began December 8, 2020.
