NEW YORK (AP) — Ford is recalling more than 850,000 of its cars across the U.S. because the low-pressure fuel pump inside the vehicles may fail — and potentially cause an engine stall while driving, increasing crash risks.
The recall covers a wide range of Ford and Lincoln-branded vehicles made in recent model years. That includes certain Ford Broncos, Explorers and F-150s, as well as Lincoln Aviators and Navigators, documents published this week by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration note.
Ford plans to send out notification letters to affected owners starting this Monday (July 14), to warn of safety risks related to potential fuel pump failure. But a remedy is still “under development,” the NHTSA’s recall report notes.
It wasn’t immediately clear if there was an estimate for when a fix would become available. But this week’s recall report noted that owners will receive an additional letter with instructions to take their car to an authorized dealer for that service when the time comes — and that there will be no charge.

It went into effect just six weeks after getting that POS which was made in 2019. This recall was widespread, very!
The fuel pump was the culprit and a STOP SALE doesn't occur overnight.
It took almost a year for the new fuel pump to come in and I couldn't get rid of it until I had it repaired.
Have an old Toyota Camry 2003 these days. Suits me just fine as I don't want some new car that could seize up while being driven. Highly unsafe indeed!
& recommend.
