The pressure changes may cause the tank to crack and leak fuel. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

The fuel tank will be inspected for cracks. The CPV and fuel tank will be replaced as necessary. These repairs will be performed free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin January 11th, 2016. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1.866.436.7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15S34.
