2010 FORD EDGE; 2010 LINCOLN MKX; 2009 FORD EDGE; 2009 LINCOLN MKX
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2009-2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles that were manufactured between September 2008 and July 2010 and are registered in specific northeastern and midwestern states plus the District of Columbia. The vehicles may develop fuel leaks from the fuel tank seam weld due to corrosion from road salt exposure, which creates a fire risk if the leaking fuel comes into contact with an ignition source.
Ford will notify owners of affected vehicles, and dealers will inspect the fuel tanks free of charge. If corrosion is found, the dealer will either clean and treat the fuel tank with a corrosion preventative or replace the tank entirely, whichever is necessary. The recall began on May 10, 2016. Owners of potentially affected vehicles should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 to determine eligibility and schedule service (Ford's recall number is 15S31).
