In-Depth Analysis

The issue stems from a low-pressure fuel pump failure caused by internal contamination of the jet pump, particularly in low fuel conditions, and reduced internal clearances that increase friction and sensitivity to vapor lock.

Ford states that a loss of fuel pressure can lead to an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Drivers may experience warning signs such as poor engine performance (misfiring or running rough), a check engine light or a reduction in engine power before a complete failure. The company notes that fuel pump failure is more likely to occur in low fuel or warm weather conditions.
The defect has been traced to a supplier in Chihuahua, Mexico. An investigation by Ford's Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) found that changes made by the supplier in June 2021 to accommodate increased build complexity, along with issues with a Tier 3 supplier for the fuel pump pumping chamber, led to the problem.
As of June 6, 2025, Ford had identified 1,860 warranty claims related to the issue. The company says it is not aware of any accidents, fires, injuries, or property damage attributed to this condition.
The remedy for the defect is currently under development. Once available, owners will be notified by mail to take their vehicles to a Ford or Lincoln dealer for free repair.
Dealers were notified of the recall July 8, 2025. Interim owner notification letters are expected to be mailed between July 14 and July 18, 2025. The date for remedy owner notification letters will be announced once the repair solution is finalized.
Owners can contact Ford’s toll-free line at 1-866-436-7332 or a local Ford or Lincoln dealer for specific information regarding their vehicles.
