Back in May, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that it upgraded its investigation into 2.7 million 1997-2001 F-150 pickups for fuel tank straps that could rusted and failed.
The safety body had received a total of 339 complaints, and found that the issue could be serious if the tank dropped out of the trucks, hit the road and caused a leak.
According to The Detroit New, the NHTSA has now closed this the investigation that covered 1997-2001 F-150, 1997 to 1999 F-250 and 2002 to 2003 Lincoln Blackwood trucks. The decision was taken only after the government organization found Ford’s recall that came as a response to be satisfactory.
Ford says that 97 percent of the complaints filed came from states that use road salt during winter, which acts as a corrosive substance for the metal straps.
