Ford Motor Co. is recalling more than 1 million trucks, including the F-150, the top-selling U.S. vehicle, because straps that secure fuel tanks to the vehicles may corrode and cause the tanks to fall.
The defect has led to three fires and one injury, Wesley Sherwood, a Ford spokesman, said in an e-mail. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced the recall today on its website.
