Consumer Description

I OWN A 1998 FORD 150 PICKUP AND THE GAS TANK STRAPS HAVE RUSTED THROUGH AND IT IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL FROM FORD BUT WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT IF A RECALL WAS ON THE NEWS THAT IT MANY BE A YEAR BEFORE THE RECALL LETTERS ARE MAILED. IS THIS TRUE? I WORRY BECAUSE HOW MANY PEOPLE MAY LOSE THEIR LIVES OVER THE YEAR IT TAKES TO GET THE LETTERS MAILED OUT... *TR
