AFTER HEARING OF A RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE FOR CORROSION OF FUEL TANK STRAPS AND CHECKING MY VEHICLE THEY ARE CORRODING. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP, FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND E-MAILED THE COMPANY I AM TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THEY CAN DO NOTHING. WHY ARE ALL FORD F-150'S NOT INCLUDED INTO RECALL, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. WHAT OTHER ACTION CAN I TAKE TO HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF? *TR
