I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FUEL TANK STRAPS. THE STRAPS ARE BAD AND I ALSO HAVE A LEAK IN THE FUEL TANK . THE TANK IS EXTREMELY RUSTED WHERE THE STRAPS ARE ON THE TANK. THE CORROSION PROBLEM WITH THE STRAPS APPEAR TO SPREAD TO ONLY THE PART OF THE TANK WHERE THE STRAPS TOUCH. FORD DOES NOT SEEM CONCERNED WITH THIS PROBLEM, SO I AM TURNING TO YOU FOR HELP AND ADVICE. *KB

THE FILLER TUBE IS RUSTING AWAY CAUSING IT TO POUR GAS ON THE GROUND AS YOU ARE FILLING THE TANK. THEY NEED TO CHANGE THESE ALONG WITH THE STRAPS THAT ARE RUSTING AWAY. MY TRUCK IS THE 2ND ONE I KNOW OF WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS SAID THEY HAVE CHANGED MANY TUBES ALSO DUE TO RUSTING OUT. *KB

VEHICLE IS ON CURRENT RECALL FOR STRAP SECURING THE GAS TANK RUSTING. NOT ONLY THE STRAPS ARE RUSTING BUT THE GAS TANK IS ALSO RUSTING. WHEN ONE OF MY STRAPS BROKE THE GAS TANK DROPPED 2 ". BOTH STRAPS WERE REPLACED AND THEN GAS TANK STARTED TO LEAK. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE GAS TANKS ALSO BE CHECKED FOR RUSTING BY THE SUPPORT STRAPS. I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW GAS TANK TO GET MY TRUCK BACK ON THE ROAD SAFELY.
