What owners wrote
Front end misalignment causing vehicle to vibrate and premature wear of tires. In addition, belt tensioner roller makes noise when vehicle is started, and popping noise from cab when driving over uneven surfaces due to cab mounting bolts to frame being loose.
Ref:een19-47774 (to be FWD by mail) the front tank strap on the vehicle failed and the tank dropped until supported by skid plate. Some diesel fuel spilled in garage, creating fire hazard but was cleaned up w/o incident. I contacted diehl ford in bellingham wa as no ford dealer in juneau ak at that time. I ordered and they sent 2 straps (f72z-9054-ba), bolts&nuts which I found out later were not authorized by safety recall 11s21!
