Model(s): 2001 through 2003 Ford Econoline 5.4L Cutaway Chassis with the school bus option built at the Lorain Assembly Plant 03S06
Recall Description: On certain cutaway chassis cabs with the school bus option, the rear crossmember, reinforcement brackets, and bolts may not have been installed. In the event of a crash, the gasoline fuel tank may not be properly protected, which could result in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Remedy: Ford Motor Company has contracted the services of Engineering Analysis Associates, Inc., (EAA). An EAA representative will contact the consumer and inspect the crossmember and reinforcement bracket assemblies and, if missing, will install these components on the vehicle.
