2001 Ford F-150
U.S. safety regulators have expanded to 2.7 million vehicles an investigation into faulty fuel-tank straps on Ford F-150 pickups.
Officials are looking into whether the straps that hold the fuel tanks can rust and break on F-150s from the 1997-2001 model years.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said two fires resulted from the problem over the weekend. One report from Ford said a vehicle caught on fire from a leaking fuel tank, and safety officials said they received another complaint of a fire that went out before causing major damage.
