The 2007 Ford F-150 has 5 recalls, the most serious being a fuel tank defect where a depression in the tank wall can allow fuel to permeate through and leak, creating a fire risk if an ignition source is nearby.
The fuel leak may first announce itself as a fuel odor or a check engine light before a visible leak develops, particularly on trucks equipped with the 26-gallon fuel tank. The remaining three recalls all involve aftermarket replacement headlamp assemblies sold under different brand names for this truck. In each case, the headlamps were produced with internal alignment or lens thickness problems that cause the beams to fall outside federal lighting standards, meaning the lights may not adequately illuminate the road ahead or may project light in ways that reduce visibility for oncoming drivers. These headlamp recalls cover assemblies sold under the Eagle Eyes, Spyder, and Sonar Auto Parts brands, so they only apply to trucks where one of those aftermarket units has been installed as a replacement, not trucks still running the original factory headlamps.
