2001 Ford F Super Duty recalls

Fuel system, gasoline: storage, tank assembly, filler pipe and cap

NHTSA campaign 01V106000 · reported March 27, 2001 · FORD MOTOR COMPANY · 185 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: Vehicle description: f-super duty crew cab pickup trucks (f-350 short wheelbase trucks equipped with a 6 3/4' pickup box and dual rear wheels) were built after a change was implemented to delete a clamp, and later a bracket that provided a ground for the fuel filler pipe. The pickup box may not have been properly grounded.
The risk: Without proper grounding, an electrostatic discharge could result during fuel fill up, potentially leading to a fire.
The fix: Dealers will install a fuel filler pipe ground. Owner notification began march 26, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
