Ford to Issue Pickup Recall

Ford Motor Copany is to recall 709,245 F-series light-duty pick-ups due to a fuel leak
problem that may start fires. The recall involves F-series models manufactured from June
1995 to August 1997. They may have improperly installed mounting brackets, which may allow
them to rub a hole in the front fuel line. A Ford spokesman stated that less than 1 percent
of the vehicles recalled would experience the problem and that no fires have been reported.
