Ford vans recalled
Ford Motor Co. is recalling about 101,000 Aerostar vans of the 1986 model year to install new seals between fuel tanks and the fuel tank filler pipes.
A Ford official said fuel might seep between the seal and the fuel tank when the tank was full or nearly full, creating a risk of fire.
Ford said it was not aware of any reports of fire caused by the fuel seepage.
