Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 850,318 Ford and Lincoln vehicles due to a potential failure of the low-pressure fuel pump, which could result in engine stalling and increase the risk of a crash.
The recall notice explains that affected vehicles may experience a loss of fuel pressure and fuel flow from the fuel tank, leading to inadequate fuel delivery to the engine. Ford notes that failure is more likely to occur under low fuel conditions or during warm weather and hot fuel scenarios within the fuel tank.
Early warning signs of fuel pump failure include poor engine performance, reduced engine power, and an illuminated “Check Engine” light. However, Ford has stated that it is not aware of any injuries resulting from this issue.
Notification letters will begin mailing to affected owners on July 14, with a second round of notices planned once the remedy is available.
