A LOT of trucks... Over a million so far, .Seems the straps can corrode and the fuel tank could fall out.... :o

I'm sure the lawyers are just having some CYA moments....Haven't heard of any fuel tanks falling out in older trucks...

Just an FYI.

Especially those that live in colder/winter climates.

Here's the FORD link, just enter VIN.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

F-250s and not the F-350s? And not the Expedition? How odd . . . .

Thanks TW. Not only could my cruise control cause the thing to explode, but now I can drop the gas tank in the street. I mean the truck has run great with no complaints so far, but DAMN! :-\
