Owner report 10041093 · 2003-10-02 (October 2, 2003)
RECALLS ON MY F150 HAVE NEVER BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THEM FOR MY TRUCK. MY DILEMMA IS THAT I WILL BE OUT OF A TRUCK FOR WORK IF I TAKE IT IN TO "TRUCK CITY" WHERE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK FOR AT LEAST A DAY OR TWO ACCORDING TO THEM. I WANT THE RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD PROVIDE A COURTESY VEHICLE WHILE PERFORMING THE RECALL REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE RESPOND. *JB

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE FUEL LEAKAGE AT THE RUBBER HOSE CONNECTING THE FUEL INLET TUBE TO THE CARBURETOR FILTER.
