Fuel pump went out which caused my car to die in middle of rush hour traffic on 6 lane highway (3 lanes each way) just over a rise. I see a recall 15V005000 (Ford recall 14S30) which appears to include my vehicle based on dates, but the recall is not listed for my VIN. Can you explain why mine would not be covered? my car is currently still in the shop (it is wed evening and it was towed there Friday morning. VIN [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The easy fuel system leaks badly especially over 75 degrees. I can smell the strong odor of gasoline. In addition it set off the mil light for the "small leak" in the evap system. It has now set a permanent code for this problem. The problem is the flap does not tightly seat enough to contain the gas vapor and the unit out gasses badly. It could be a major fire hazard. Any open flame, spark on a job site, or just some goof with a lit smoke could set off a fire ball. At present the unit is parked, as I am afraid to drive it less it become a liability problem for our firm. What is needed is a standard fuel cap to totally seal the tank. There is no way to get one from Ford to fix this problem.
