02V249000 on 09/24/2002
Component:
Fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly
Manufactured:
05/09/2001 - 03/21/2002
Affected:
574
Defect:
On certain natural gas model vehicles, a t-fitting that connects fuel tanks #3 and #4 can develop a leak when the solenoid valves are energized, such as when the ignition switch is in the on position or during refueling.
Consequence:
A gas leak of sufficient quantity concentrated in an area to create a combustible mixture and in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Correction:
Dealers will install a redesigned "t" fitting on #4 fuel tank and tested for leakage. owner notification began september 13, 2002. owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-866-436-7332.
Notes:
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Affected:
350,000
Defect:
In order to enhance police office safety, model year 1992-2003 crown victoria police interceptor (cvpi) vehicles will be equipped with shields designed to help protect the fuel tank in high-speed rear-impact crashes. ford also will be offering an optional trunk package designed to improve the safe transport of sharp-edged, heavy equipment in these vehicles.
Consequence:
Some high-speed rear-impact crashes have resulted in fuel tank punctures and fires in cvpi vehicles.
Correction:
Ford has advised us that shield kits have been available since late october and will be installed on police interceptor vehicles at no cost. the optional trank package will be available by the end of 2002. ford has established a new web site at www.cvpi.com to answer additional questions about the safe use of cpvi vehicles.

Defect:
On certain natural gas vehicles, if a flame from a vehicle interior fire becomes locally directed at the natural gas fuel tank located immediately behind the rear seat, the flame could damage the fiberglass wrap on the tank weakening the tank.
Consequence:
If the strength of the tank is significantly compromised, it could rupture, increasing the risk of a fire.
Correction:
Dealers will install an insulator behind the current seat back. owner notification began on january 7, 2004. owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.

Defect:
Certain aftermarket fuel filters sold under the purolator brand name, p/n f65277, shipped from january 16 through june 2, 2006, for use on the above listed passenger vehicles. due to incorrect design, the quick connectors may not fully seat with the tube interface, even though the person making the connection may believe that the quick connector is fully attached.
Consequence:
Failure of this connection could lead to fuel spillage and, in the presence of an ignition source, a fire could occur.
Correction:
Ufi will notify owners and replace the filters free of charge. the recall began on august 4, 2006. owners may contact ufi filters usa at 800-230-5876.
