| Description of the problem | Ford is aware that on certain vehicles, the fuse controlling the fuel point eventually melts due to the fact that the original location (7) in the fuse bar, is to weak to handle the load going to the fuse. Ultimately and at a possible untimely time and location, it kills the fuel point causing potential life threatening non control of the vehicle. See this post: http://www. F150forum. Com/f38/2009-2014-fuse-27-melting-issue-372139/index2/ ford has only issued a tsb for repairs if it occurs, tsb 15-0137 (http://m. Ford. Oemdtc. Com/tsb/15-0137. Pdf) this needs to be a mandatory recall before someone gets killed. While i caught mine early, only due to the aforementioned post, i do not feel safe. |
