Anthony Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Source: CNN Ford is recalling nearly half a million vehicles over a potential fuel tank issue. The 451,865 affected vehicles include 2010 and 2011 models of Ford Fusions and Mercury Milans made and sold in North America, according to a company statement. Some of those cars may have a defective canister purge valve that causes internal fuel tank pressure changes. "Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak," Ford said in a statement. Ford (F) said it didn't know of any accidents, injuries or fires caused from the issue, and that the vehicles were constructed at its Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico.

fordtech1 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 The only way I can see the tank cracking is due to customers not fixing the car when the check engine light on because of a bad purge valve. I suspect you the check engine light being on for a long time before a tank would crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theDuff Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Just had one last week. We were all scratching our heads on how the fuel tank cracked. Customer will be very happy to get a reimbursement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
