What is wrong
On certain trucks built with 26 gallon fuel tanks, the fuel tank may have a depression at the seam between the top and bottom halves of the tank (not visible from outside the fuel tank). If a depression is large enough, fuel may permeate the fuel tank wall resulting in a fuel odor, or a "service engine soon" indicator light.
The risk
If left uncorrected, a fuel leak could eventually develop. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel tank free of charge. The recall began on june 25, 2007. Owners may contact ford at 1-[removed].
