2010 FORD RANGER
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ford is recalling certain 2010 Ford Ranger trucks manufactured between October 15, 2009, and May 19, 2010. The engine fuel line near the throttle body shield may not have had a protective cover properly installed during manufacturing. If the protective cover is not in the correct position, the edge of the shield can contact the fuel line, and over time this contact may damage the fuel line and cause a fuel odor or potential fuel leak.
A sufficient fuel leak near an ignition source could result in a fire. To address this issue, Ford dealers will trim the throttle body shield away from the fuel line, inspect the fuel line for wear, and replace the line if necessary at no cost. The recall began on March 4, 2011. Affected owners should contact the Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332.
