Consequence:
Should this occur, the capacity of the receiving tank may be exceeded and fuel may overflow from the filler cap.
Correction:
Ford is extending the warranty for potential fuel cross-flow to 12 years of service or 150,000 miles from the vehicle's warranty start date, whichever occurs first. this cover will automatically transfer to subsequent owners at no charge. if a vehicle already has more than 150,000 miles, this overage will last until december 31, 2001. if the vehicle is experiencing a fuel cross-flow condition, dealers will repair the condition free of charge.
Notes:
Ford has decided to conduct an extended coverage program to extend the warranty coverage for potential fuel cross flow problems. owners can contact ford at1-866-436-7332, concerning this program.
