Risk: Fuel tank contact can damage the tank and result in fuel leakage. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect the rear springs and install an additional clip on the forward end of the rear springs to prevent fuel tank contact in the event of a leaf fracture. Any fractured springs will be replaced.

Risk: If this shipping plug is displaced, fuel leakage can result. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could potentially result in a fire.

Remedy: Dealers will install the correct fuel tank.

Risk: The fuel lines can leak, and in the presence of an ignition source, a fire could potentially result.

Remedy: Dealers will install a warning label on the fuel line bracket advising owners not to use it for a jump start ground. Also a revised bolt will be installed in the alternator bracket to provide a convenient jump start ground location.

Risk: If the bracket separates from the rail, the rail can lift one or more of the injectors, and fuel leakage will result. In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could occur.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the fuel rail on these vehicles.

Risk: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

Remedy: Ford has requested owners of these vehicles to have the CNG fuel system disabled under a previous recall campaign and to only use gasoline fuel until a permanent corrective action is developed. Owners are being alerted to this solenoid valve concern at this time. The timing of corrective actions is being delayed to allow both conditions to be remedied at one time. In the meantime, there is not risk as long as the natural gas system has been disabled and the vheicle is only operated on gasoline.

Risk: This could potentially result in damage to the fuel line, or in some cases, cause a fuel leak. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

Remedy: Dealers will install an additional clip to hold the fuel line in the intended design position.

Risk: This fuel leakage results in dampness and fuel odor, and if an ignition source was present, a fire could result.

Remedy: Dealers will install a plastic convolute covering around the fuel lines. If the lines show a leak, the lines will be replaced first.

Risk: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a vehicle fire.

Remedy: Dealers will remove the heat shield attachments. This will not affect heat shield location or function, as the attachments are intended to keep the shield in place until the fuel tank is installed in the vehicle. After installation, the fuel tank straps retain the heat shield.

Risk: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a vehicle fire.

Remedy: Dealers will remove the heat shield attachments. This will not affect heat shield location or function, as the attachments are intended to keep the shield in place until the fuel tank is installed in the vehicle. After installation, the fuel tank straps retain the heat shield.

Risk: If the diaphragm tears or ruptures, liquid fuel could enter the intake manifold plenum through the vacuum line resulting in either release of fuel from the air cleaner assembly or the exhaust system. Fuel release in the presence of an ignition source could potentially result in a fire.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect the fuel pressure regulator. Those regulators produced during the suspect time period will be replaced.

Risk: The subject fasteners can separate causing in the rear strap of the affected fuel tank to become disconnected. A loose or disconnected rear strap allows the fuel tank to possibly contact the road surface increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the crossmember gusset fasteners with the specified alternative fasteners (bolts).

Risk: Fuel leakage can result in a fire.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the fuel tank assemblies with units containing one-piece molded reinforcements.

Risk: Fuel leakage could result in a vehicle fire if an ignition source were present.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the fuel filler pipe-to-fuel tank seal with a new seal of different material.

Risk: Fuel leakage can result in a fire.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect and, as appropriate, replace the fuel tanks.

Risk: Wear of the hose or line can occur, resulting in fuel leakage within the engine compartment which can result in fire when exposed to a source of ignition.

Remedy: The fuel lines will be repositioned. Any damaged rubber hoses will be replaced. Steel fuel lines will have the corrosion protection repaired if needed.

Risk: A static charge can discharge and serve as an ignition source for fuel vapors in the area of the filler pipe, resulting in a flash vapor ignition and a vehicle fire.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, modify the vehicles by adding a ground strap between the filler pipe shield and the body.

Risk: Leaking fuel can result in a fire when exposed to a source of ignition.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front fuel line assembly.

Remedy: The engine fuel rail will be replaced.

Risk: Spilled fuel can result in a fire when exposed to asource of ignition.

Remedy: Replacement of the fuel pressure regulator and installation of redundant check valves.

Risk: Should a crack develop, fuel vapor can escape from thetank when the tank is full, and a small amount of fuel can leak from the crack.fuel leaks can result in fire when exposed to a source of ignition.

Remedy: Install a new fuel pump sending assembly.

Risk: The overflow of fuel past the filler cap causes a fuelleakage, which can result in a fire when exposed to a source of ignition.

Remedy: Replace the dual fuel tank selector valve.

Risk: This penetration of the fuel tank causes vapors to escapeand possibly fuel to spill, which could catch fire in the presence of anignition source.

Remedy: Relocate the heat shield; inspect and replace damaged fuel fuel tanks.

Risk: The escaped vapor or leaked fuel could cause a fire inthe presence of a source of ignition.

Remedy: Fuel tank will be removed and inspected for weld integrity. Fuel tanks with inadequate welds will be replaced.
