Ford has recalled around 223,000 F-150 pickup trucks in the United States. The announcement came in September 2026 from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The trucks affected are 2023 to 2027 models.
The problem is with the front fuel tank straps. During manufacturing, these straps were not fitted correctly into the vehicle's frame. Because of this, fuel can leak while the truck is moving. In the worst cases, the fuel tank could completely separate from the vehicle.
This is not Ford's only recall in 2026. The company has also recalled 741,000 trucks and SUVs for problems with the parking system, and 1.4 million pickup trucks because of a software fault.
