## What is wrong

On certain 1997\-2003 F\-150, 2004 F\-150 Heritage, 1997\-1999 F\-250, and 2002\-2003 Lincoln Blackwood vehicles that were originally sold in or are currently operated in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months \(Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland \& Labrador\), the fuel tank straps could corrode and fail.  This could allow the fuel tank to contact the ground, which may compromise the tank's integrity and permit fuel leakage.  Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction:  Dealers will install fuel tank straps with improved corrosion protection.
