Ford says an estimated 8,000 2017 Ford Super Duty trucks must be looked over and inspected for a fuel tank strap reinforcement. If one is not installed, VonDerAu Ford will put one in for free as a provision against probable fuel leaks.
Affected vehicles include cars created from Aug. 10, 2016, to Sept. 17, 2016, at Kentucky Truck Plant.

This recall is significant because the apparatus could fall out of place, and onto the ground. If this occurs, it could cause a possible fuel leak, and if it’s near an ignition site, it could greatly escalate the chance of igniting a fire. However, it should be noted that Ford has not heard of any accidents associated with this problem.
