Fuel Tank: Recalls
Recall 01V114000: Possible Fuel Tank Crack
Vehicle Description: Wagons, and certain vans with ambulance prep packages. In certain severe-duty applications involving operation at or near Gross
Vehicle Weight with frequent twisting of the vehicle body, such as off-road, rough road or speed bump events, the 35 gallon mid-ship fuel tank could
develop a crack where it contacts the frame cross member. If the fuel tank cracks, fuel leakage could occur. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition
source could result in a fire. Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and, if cracked, will replace the tank. Insulator pads will be installed on all vehicles to
reduce the stress levers in the fuel tank. Owner notification began April 19, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed
upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Also contact the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
