2008 FORD E350Transport Canada Recall #2009189
Defect
On certain E-350 and E-450 cutaway vehicles with school bus prep packages and some Econoline E-350 vans, certain frame rail tank guard brackets may have been omitted during vehicle assembly. These brackets are intended to prevent frame edge to fuel tank contact during a vehicle crash. As these vehicles were not evaluated for compliance without the use of brackets, their performance during a vehicle crash is thereby unknown. Should the tank be damaged enough to cause a fuel leak a vehicle fire could ensue, which may result in personal injury or death.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and, if missing, install the brackets.
