The problem
Ford is recalling certain model year 2010 Ford ranger trucks manufactured from October 15, 2009, through may19, 2010. The engine fuel line in the area of the throttle body shield May not have a protective convolute (cover) properly installed. If the protective convolute on the fuel line is not assembled in the proper position, the edge of the shield May contact the fuel line. Over time this contact May chafe the fuel line, resulting in a fuel odor and a potential fuel leak.
The risk
A sufficient fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source May result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will trim the throttle body shield away from the fuel line and inspect the fuel line for wear, and replace the line if necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on March 4, 2011. Owners May contact the Ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332.
