The Prices and Consumer Affairs Division is advising the public that Ford is recalling more than 850,000 vehicles due to low-pressure fuel pumps, which could fail and lead to an engine stall while driving.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) warned that the fuel pumps of certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles “increases the risk of a crash” and that a remedy is under development.
The recall affects vehicles of the following models:
∙ 2021-2023 Ford Bronco
∙ 2022 Ford Expedition
∙ 2021-2023Ford Explorer
∙ 2021-2022 Ford F-150
∙ 2021-2023 Ford F-250 SD
∙ 2021-2023 Ford F-350 SD
∙ 2021-2023 Ford F-450 SD
∙ 2021-2023 Ford F-550 SD
∙ 2021-2022 Ford Mustang
∙ 2021-2023 Lincoln Aviator
∙ Lincoln Navigator
Ford said fuel pump failure is “more likely to occur” under warm weather and hot fuel conditions. Warning signs of an impending pump failure include a reduction in engine power and poor engine performance.
