Description of the problem | My fuel tank cracked. I took it to a local repair shop to repair. In the mean time i looked on the internet for recalls. Ford has a recall for cracked fuel tanks but only for warm weather southern states. Although my fuel tank has the same defect, ford has refused to repair it as part of the recall because i do not live in one of the listed states. If i had an address in one of those states, they would have covered it.*ak |
