FORD 500 - MONTEGO GAS TANK RECALL

Ford is recalling nearly 3,000 copies of the 2007 Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego sedans to fix a problem with the fuel tank.
The cars being recalled were built between Sept. 5 and Sept. 11, 2006, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The fuel tank and the tank spud--the part of the tank connecting to the fuel filler hose--might have been improperly welded. A bad weld could cause a fuel odor or fuel leak and trigger the emissions-malfunction light. In a worst-case scenario, a fuel leak paired with an ignition source could start a fire in the vehicle.
