JULY
2008 -- Ford is
recalling 142 MY 2008
Edge and Lincoln MKK all
wheel drive vehicles.
The fuel tank weld
fixture may have been
exposed to a contaminant
during production which
could cause a dimple in
the bottom of the fuel
tank at a spot weld.
This dimple could result
in fuel leakage or a
fuel drip from the tank.
Fuel leakage, in the
presence of an ignition
source, could result in
a fire. Dealers will
inspect and, if
necessary, replace the
fuel tank. The recall is
expected to begin during
August 2008.
