First I've heard of this, and I bought the car new.

Same here, original owner, worked a Ford dealer and ran Oasis regularly. Would seem stupid now since I can't imagine anyone still having the original filter still on their car.

News to me. It states that UFI will contact the owners of the vehicles, not Ford. It is a product recall, not a vehicle one.

Yes I'm afraid you all need to turn in your 2004 Marauders. Especially the DTR's, the SB's, and the Blacks. Oh, and the White One.

Correct, this is not a Ford recall and does not affect Motorcraft filters. This recall is on aftermarket fuel filters supplied by UFI.

Thanks for the clarification, frdwrnch. :up:
