What This Recall Means

What Happened
Your vehicle's fuel tank is held in place by two straps that might break, causing the tank to fall and potentially damage other parts.
Risk if Unfixed
If the straps break, you might hear a noise or smell fuel, which could lead to a fire if there's an ignition source nearby.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
We'll replace the two straps for free at a dealership, and you can contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673 to schedule the repair, which started on December 1, 2005.
