The lawsuit, which was obtained by Reuters, states that fuel tank lines on various F-Series trucks and E-Series full-size vans built between 1999 and 2008 had defective fuel tank linings that could "separate and flake off." As a result, the fuel systems could clog with lining debris and rust, which the liner was designed to protect against.
The lawsuit was filed by Coba Landscaping and Construction of Chester, New Jersey, which presumably has a fleet of Ford trucks and/or vans.
Ford has not officially commented on the matter because a spokesperson said the automaker has not been served with the lawsuit.
If the lawsuit turns into a recall, millions of Ford trucks and vans could be recalled.
