Ford recalls 1 million trucks for falling gas tanks - Aug. 1, 2011 (http://money.cnn.com/2011/08/01/autos/ford_F-150_gas_tank_recall/index.htm?hpt=hp_t2)
Ford Motor Co. is recalling 1.1 million full-size pickups in the U.S. because straps securing the gas tank to the vehicle could rust, allowing the tank to come loose and drag on the ground.
The recalled trucks include model year 1997 through 2003 F-150 trucks, some model year 1997 through 1999 F-250's, and some 2002 to 2003 Lincoln Blackwood trucks -- a luxury version of the F-150.
