Recall 07V-278: 2007 Ford F-150
FORD MOTOR COMPANY recall for fuel system, gasoline, reported to NHTSA on Jun 28, 2007, covering about 203 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trucks built with 26 gallon fuel tanks, the fuel tank may have a depression at the seam between the top and bottom halves of the tank (Not visible from outside the fuel tank). If a depression is large enough, fuel may permeate the fuel tank wall resulting in a fuel odor, or a "service engine soon" indicator light.
The risk
If left uncorrected, a fuel leak could eventually develop. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel tank free of charge. The recall began on june 25, 2007. Owners may contact ford at 1-866-436-7332.
