Ford has issued a Canada recall for certain 2023 to 2026 F-150 models after fuel tank straps may not be secured properly, creating a risk of fuel leak, stalling and crash hazards.
The Story
Ford has issued a recall in Canada affecting more than 57,000 vehicles due to an issue that could leave fuel tank straps not properly secured.
The recall involves Ford F-150 trucks, specifically models from 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. According to the recall notice, on certain trucks the fuel tank strap(s) may not have been secured properly, which can allow the tank to fall and potentially leak fuel.
The notice outlines multiple safety risks if a fuel leak or separation occurs. It says that if the engine suddenly loses power, the risk of crashing can increase. It also says a fuel leak can create a fire risk, and that a fuel tank separating from the truck can create hazards for other road users, further increasing crash risks.
Ford says owners will be notified by mail and advised to take their vehicle to a dealership for inspection. If the problem is found, the notice says the fuel tank strap(s) will be replaced.
Drivers concerned about whether their vehicle is affected are directed to the recall notice for further details, including next steps for owners once the dealership inspection is scheduled.
