Sept 12 (Reuters) - ‌Ford ​is ​recalling 223,472 vehicles in the U.S. ‌due to leaky and improperly ⁠secured fuel tanks that may ‌detach from the ‌vehicle while driving, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety ​Administration said on Saturday.

Here are some more ⁠details from the NHTSA advisory:

• A ​detached tank can create a road hazard, increasing ​the risk of ‌a crash, while a fuel leak can ⁠cause an engine stall or increase the risk ⁠of a fire.

• Certain 2023-2027 ​F-150 vehicles will be recalled due to this concern.

• Dealers will ‌inspect and replace the fuel tank straps, ‌as necessary, free ⁠of charge.
