On the 2022-2023 Ford E-Series, fuel tanks supplied to late E-350 and E-450 chassis had pre- and post-paint production deviations at the supplier, so the paint along the tank's weld seam peels. The bare metal at the seam then corrodes and eventually perforates, allowing a fuel leak - a fire risk that is aggravated on cutaway and RV applications where the tank sits close to exhaust routing and body structure added by the second-stage manufacturer.

Common Symptoms

  • Fuel smell around or under the vehicle
  • Visible flaking paint or rust along the fuel tank weld seam
  • Damp or stained tank seam
  • Fuel puddle under the chassis

How to Fix

Free recall inspection and, where corrosion is present, tank replacement under Ford campaign 22S76 / NHTSA 22V-925, which also covers 2021-2022 F-59 stripped chassis. Owners should have the VIN checked at nhtsa.gov; an unrepaired van showing paint flaking or damp seams at the tank should not be parked indoors until inspected.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $0
