Mfr Recall???
Just saw on MYCARSTATS.COM that there's a mfr recall on the '04 F150. I can't view it, however, so I was wondering if anyone knows what the recall is?
...The Ford web site says there are no recalls...

Hi Dusty1,
I think this is the recall your talking about. It the only one so far for the '04 F-150. Only 371 trucks effected.
NHTSA Recall Campaign Number: 04V200000
Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
Details: CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS MAY HAVE A FUEL TANK WITH LOCALIZED DEPRESSIONS IN THE FUEL TANK WALL AT THE SEAM BETWEEN TOP AND BOTTOM HALVES OF THE TANK. IF A DEPRESSION IS LARGE ENOUGH, FUEL MAY PERMEATE THE FUEL TANK WALL RESULTING IN A FUEL ODOR, OR THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" INDICATOR LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MAY ILLUMINATE.
Consequence: IF LEFT UNCORRECTED, A FUEL LEAK COULD EVENTUALLY DEVELOP.
Corrective Action: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL TANK ON THESE VEHICLES. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON APRIL 26, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-248-0186.
Units Potentially Affected: 371
Recall Initiated By: MFR
Date added to NHTSA datbase: 04/27/2004
MCS Check Date: 5/3/2004

371 units aren't many, so I guess it's a very limited recall. MYFORD.COM didn't list my VIN as having a recall, so I'm hoping my truck isn't affected. I've got the 36-gallon tank.
Thanks for the prompt response!
