I RECENTLY READ THAT NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING FORD F 150 FROM 1997 TO 2001 FOR RUSTING GAS TANK STRAPS THAT EFFECTED 1.4 MILLION TRUCKS. I HAVE A FORD 1998 F-250 THAT HAD RUSTED GAS TANK STRAPS. ONE STRAP LET GO AND THE TANK MOVED OUT OF POSITION. I REPLACED IT MYSELF, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS DONE CORRECTLY OR WITH THE PROPER SAFETY PROTECTION. DID FORD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS? WILL THEY INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF IT WAS DONE CORRECTLY? IS THERE A COST TO THE OWNER FOR ANY OF THIS? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAS AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO HAVE THE STRAPS REPLACED.
