FORD F SERIES ( 01/09/1997 – 01/09/2004) DEFECT: It is possible that where these vehicles are operating in high road salt conditions the fuel tank straps could fracture due to corrosion. This could lead to the detachment of the fuel tank resulting in the fuel tank contacting the road surface causing a fuel leak which could cause a risk of a vehicle fire.

Recall all affected vehicles and replace the fuel tank straps with improved salt corrosion protection straps.
