The safety recall affects approximately 56,113 Endeavors and 2,307 Galants across the United States. The Endeavors in question are those that were originally sold or currently registered in states where road salt is used to clear away snow and ice in the winter. According to NHTSA, road salt, mixed with other debris, can become trapped between the Endeavor’s fuel filler pipe and a reinforcing bracket, which can cause corrosion and potentially a fuel leak
