Spark plug # 7 blew out of the Ford F-150 truck with a V8 motor. The plug and coil stuck the fuel rail above this area, and took a chunk of the fuel rail out, almost crating a leak, vehicle could catch on fire. Over 100,000 reports on the exact same spark plug along with # 3 plug doing the same thing with the fuel rail also. Usually the other plug blew a few months after the first one blew out of the engine. Repairs were to pull the header, and drill hole in header to install a coil to replace threads torn on the head, and install a new plug due to blow out and coil.
