The 2008 Ford E350 has two recalls, the more serious being a cracked driveshaft slip yoke that can break while driving, allowing the driveshaft to drop from the vehicle and potentially strike the road or other vehicles.
The other recall affects certain cutaway vehicles with school bus prep packages and some Econoline vans: missing frame rail tank guard brackets mean the fuel tank has no protection from the frame edge during a crash, which can allow the tank to be punctured and leak fuel.

Certain frame rail tank guard brackets may be missing. These brackets prevent the frame from contacting the fuel tank during a crash. Without them, a crash could damage the tank, causing a fuel leak and fire.
What the fix does
Dealers will inspect for missing brackets and install them if needed.
