FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

The defect
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2023 E-350, E-450, and 2021-2022 F-59 vehicles. The paint along the weld seam of the fuel tank may peel and lead to corrosion of the exposed metal, which can result in a fuel leak.
What it can cause
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
What the dealer does
Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and replace, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 14, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S76.
NHTSA's note
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.

Which vehicles

A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares

At 11,074 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 80% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Ford vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 75 times before this, most recently in November 2022 as 22V859000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 27 complaints with NHTSA, 7 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the fuel system, gasoline, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V097000 (steering), 23V164000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 22V792000 (power train), 22V528000 (steering).

Check your own car

A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.

Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on December 14, 2022 as campaign 22V925000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
