Description of the problem	I have a 2004 f 250 super duty. I experienced a blow out of the spark plug on two occasions. The first i was able to put the plug back in and re-thread the plug. It just recently blew out the second time which will result in a greater repair. I have a mechanic whom i regularly use and he has stated to me that he is aware of no less than twenty five fords that he has personal knowledge or has experienced this problem first hand. This should most certainly be a recall. I was not aware of the potential for an engine fire. At first i believed the noise was probably from a blown exhaust gasket. I would have never imagined that a spark plug would have blown out of my engine let alone have any knowledge or concern that fuel vapor is being openly sprayed into the air. Now i realize that i also placed myself in harms way putting myself under the hood trying to locate the source of the noise. What if that vapor had ignited while i was peeking around in the engine? This is a serious hazard. I don't care what ford says or what silly excuse they can make for this. There is simply no reason why a spark plug should be blowing out of an engine like this. For whatever incoherent reasoning ford can derive it is most certainly irrelevant. What is the difference what causes this problem? What relevance does splitting hairs over this have? None because it is all speculation. The fact is that a very serious and dangerous condition is present as a result of this and the overwhelming evidence suggests it is a design flaw at the liability of ford. Will it take someone to be burned over 80% of their body to come to a conclusion that this should be recalled? Furthermore ford has a poor track record with recalls. I had a 93 f 250 recalled in 2004 for the draining double gas tank problem. For ten years i complained about this and ford finally sent me a notice for a recall in 2004. Was i suppose to recall my truck from the junk yard?.. Its a great disservice to ford customers.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
