Two Lincoln models and nine different types of Ford car, truck and SUV are at risk of suffering fuel pump failure

- Ford is recalling 850,000 vehicles due to a problem with their low-pressure fuel pumps.
- Eleven different Ford and Lincoln models built between 2021 and 2023 are affected.
- The Bronco, Expedition, Explorer, Mustang and F-series trucks are included in the recall.
Ford has already issued more recall campaigns in the first six months of 2024 than it did in all of 2024, and like an F-150 Lighting with collapsed front suspension from a missing balljoint nut, it shows no signs of slowing. This week Ford announced it was recalling another 850,000 vehicles from both its own, and Lincoln lines.
The problem concerns the vehicles’ low-pressure fuel pumps, which are at risk of failure, and is incredibly widespread, not just in terms of the number of affected units, but the number of models involved. A total of 11 different Ford and Lincoln models, including cars, trucks and SUVs, are caught up in the campaign, all of them built between 2021 and 2023.

According to the NHTSA’s recall files owners of the 2021-22 Lincoln Navigator and 2021-23 Aviator, the 2022 Ford Expedition, 2021-22 Mustang and F-150, and 2021-23 Bronco, Explorer and Super Duty trucks can all expect to get a letter from the automaker in the coming weeks, alerting them to the issue.
It’s not even a new issue, Ford itself having opened a investigation into fueling problems in 2022 after noticing a spike in warranty claims. Ford shut down its probe in summer 2023 but 12 months later the NHTSA opened one of its own after receiving six consumer complaints relating to a loss of power in MY21 Broncos whose fuel pumps had packed up.
Taking another look at the data, Ford again noticed a rise in warranty claims, notably in the summer months and in warm weather states. Digging into its suppliers’ manufacturing processes it discovered that one of them had supplied pumps that weren’t built to the required spec and were prone to experiencing vapor lock. As of five weeks ago Ford had received 1,860 warranty claims, but that’s nothing compared with the 850,000 vehicles that now need a fix.
Exactly what that fix is, and when it’s coming, Ford hasn’t revealed, because it’s still working on the remedy. But if your car is working fine into July’s hot weather, there’s a good chance it’ll be okay until the repair is ready to be rolled out.
