| Description of the problem | 2007 lincoln mk - 70k. Smelled gasoline several times at different locations today. Further investigation revealed that gasoline is leaking from the seam of the gas tank. Have seen multiple complaints on multiple sites including nhtsa for 2007 lincoln mkx and the ford edge(same gas tank assembly). The issue is occurring with these models around the same mileage. Ford needs to put out a recall on this item as it is a major safety concern and there should not be an issue with this part at this mileage. |
