Metal straps holding up the gas tank rusted and broke on july 28, 2011 while filling the gas tank. had to have it towed to dealership where they replaced the two metal straps on august 1, 2011. on august 2, 2011 a recall was issued for the same problem on similar ford vehicles that were manufactured during the same year. dealership confirmed it was the same problem that was cited in the recall and stated that i was very lucky that i was not driving the vehicle at the time this occurred. *tr
