142 Ford and Lincoln crossovers are being recalled for fuel tank issues. The weld fixture used on a very few vehicles may have been exposed to a contaminant that could cause a dimple in the bottom of a fuel tank. Being near a spot weld, this dimple could result in a leak. In the presence of an ignition source, fire could ensue. It’s likely that dealers will replace 142 fuel tanks.
Giv’em credit. Ford Motor Company caught this one early.
