Ford Five Hundred: Fuel System
Affects Ford Five Hundred · 2007 — about 24 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, the fuel filler neck may not have been welded correctly to the fuel tank during the manufacturing process. As a result, the weld may not provide the expected strength and, in the event of a crash, could result in a fuel leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel tank.
