Recall summary
The low-pressure fuel pump transfers the gasoline from the fuel tank to the engine. In the affected models, this pump was built incorrectly and may fail to deliver sufficient amounts of fuel, which can cause the vehicle to stall.
Recall risks
A stalled vehicle can get hit by oncoming traffic, augmenting the risk of an injury. Luckily, no injuries or accidents have been reported leading up to the recall.
Warning signs
A failing fuel pump may reduce the engine’s power output, cause it to misfire or run rough or trigger a check engine light.
The background of the recall
The recall is the result of an ongoing investigation by the U.S. government auto safety regulator, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which was opened last June on the back of six complaints alleging stall. The recall comes on the back of 1,860 warranty claims, 28 field reports and 57 customer service reports.
Other Ford recalls
In June 2025, a loose door trim caused a recall that affected almost half a million Ford Explorer SUVs, as reported.
