Ford Announces Recall Of 452,000 Midsize Vehicles

The gas tanks on these cars could potentially have a fuel leak.

The Ford recall involves specific 2010 to 2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans that were built in Mexico from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011.

According to the AP:

Ford says a valve on a gasoline vapor recovery canister can get stuck, causing repeated air pressure changes in the gas tank. That can eventually cause a crack on top of the tank and a possible fuel leak. The company says it has no reports of fires or injuries from the problem. Dealers will inspect the valve and fuel tank for leaks and replace them if needed. They’ll also update the powertrain control module software.

Approximately 410,000 of these cars are in the US.
