FORD proceeds to a major vehicle recall due to a low pressure fuel pump defect that could cause the engine setting, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced in the United States. A total of 107,534 vehicles in Canada and 850,318 in the United States are affected. In question: insufficient fuel flow between the tank and the engine, which can cause a sudden loss of power, thus increasing the risk of collision.
What models are targeted by this recall?
The recall affects several Ford and Lincoln models produced between 2021 and 2023, including:
-
Ford Bronco (2021–2023)
-
Ford Expedition (2022)
-
Ford Explorer (2021–2023)
-
Ford F-150 (2021–2022)
-
Ford Super Duty F-350, F-450, F-550 (2021–2023)
-

-

-

The supplier of the fuel pumps is Phinia Inc. The breakdowns are more likely to occur in hot weather or when the tank is almost empty.
Symptoms to be monitored and next step
Before a total failure, drivers could notice signs of poor engine yield, such as:
-
Ignition failures
