Fuel pump recall Ford Motors Company

Key Details and Main Themes

1. Defective Fuel Delivery Modules (FDMs) Causing Engine Stalling

Core Problem: Ford has recalled 850,000 vehicles due to "low-pressure fuel delivery module (FDM) failures that have led to engine stalling while driving."

Root Cause: The problem is attributed to "internal contamination of the FDM’s jet pump" and "reduced fuel pump internal clearances that result in an increase of internal friction and sensitivity to vapor lock."

Contributing Factors: FDM failures are more likely to occur "when the fuel level is low, or in warm weather that increases the temperature of the fuel in the tank."

Symptoms: Drivers may experience "poor engine performance, such as rough running or misfiring, as well as reduced power and a check engine light."
