Ford Recalls 450,000 Midsize Cars for Possible Fuel Leak

Dow Jones News
DETROIT—Ford Motor Co. is recalling nearly 452,000 midsize cars
because the gas tanks potentially can leak fuel.
The recall covers certain 2010 to 2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury
Milan sedans built in Mexico from July 21, 2008 through March 4,
2011.
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 will also update the powertrain
control module software.
About 411,000 of the cars are in the U.S., with nearly 34,000 in
Canada and just over 7,000 in Mexico.
