Recall on Gas F2/350s made from 8-10-16 to 9-17-16

Didn't see anything about this, so I decided to post the information here for anyone with an affected vehicle to see it.

Recall (Linked here) for 2017 F250/350 Super Duties with gasoline engines manufactured between August 10th of 2016 and September 17th 2016. The recall is set to begin February of this year.

Here's the information from the link:

December 29, 2016 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V945000
Reinforcement Bracket Missing from Fuel Tank
A fuel tank strap that separates and allows the fuel tank to contact the ground may cause a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire.

NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V945000

Manufacturer Ford Motor Company

Components FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

Potential Number of Units Affected 7,105

Summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2017 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks manufactured August 10, 2016, to September 17, 2016. The frame reinforcement bracket may not have been attached to the front fuel tank strap, allowing the fuel tank strap to separate from the frame.

Remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, install the reinforcement bracket, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin February 6, 2017. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 16S45.

Notes

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.safercar.gov.

Hopefully Ford will actually put the 34 gallon tank in mine when I ever go in for this.
