Ford Recalls Over 850,000 Vehicles Nationwide Over Fuel Pump Stall Risk

Ford is recalling over 850,000 Ford and Lincoln vehicles from the 2021 to 2023 model years due to a potential failure of the low-pressure fuel pump, which may cause engine stalls and increase crash risks. The affected models include Ford Broncos, Explorers, F-150s, F-250 to F-550 Super-Duty trucks, Mustangs, Expeditions, and Lincoln Aviators and Navigators. The issue arises from internal contamination and increased friction in the jet pump, particularly under low fuel or warm weather conditions, which can lead to poor engine performance, misfiring, or a check engine light prior to failure. Ford has not received reports of accidents or injuries linked to this defect but estimates that about 10% of the recalled vehicles may be affected. Notification letters will be sent to owners starting July 14, 2025, with a remedy currently under development and to be provided free of charge once available. Despite the recall, Ford's stock showed resilience, and the company also continues philanthropic efforts, including support for Texas flood disaster relief.
