From what I gather it is not a recall, but a TSB or 'technical service bulletin'. Its more of an annoyance than a safety hazard and therefore Ford is probably unwilling to bite the bullet. Thus if you want it fixed you will have to pay for it.
There is some good info/tips in this thread:
Earlier thread Here is what i posted in that thread that may make your trips to the gas station a bit more bearable (it worked for me):
Here is a tip:
When inserting the nozzle, be sure not to insert with full force and don't press it up against the gas tank. I always thought it was a good idea to press it up to create a "seal" with the rubber surround of the nozzle...instead just insert it like 4/5 of the way inside...pretty much all the way but not completely... (make sure it IS inside tho! ) and its should be MUCH easier to fill your tank up.
