Ford is notifying owners of roughly 850,000 vehicles after U.S. safety regulators flagged a low‑pressure fuel pump that can starve engines of gasoline and cause sudden stalls on the road. Letters began going out July 14, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the fix — still in development — will be provided free once parts are ready.
The recall spans both countries, covering popular models such as the 2021‑23 Bronco, Explorer, F‑150, Mustang, Expedition, and heavy‑duty F‑250 to F‑550 pickups, plus Lincoln Aviator and Navigator SUVs. Owners may notice warning lights, rough idling or power loss, especially in hot weather or with low fuel levels; Ford urges drivers who experience these symptoms to visit a dealer immediately.
It is Ford’s 89th recall of 2025, lifting the year’s total above five million affected vehicles and underscoring the automaker’s ongoing quality‑control struggle. The company says it has doubled its safety‑engineering staff and expanded “test‑to‑failure” programs, but analysts warn repeated callbacks could weigh on warranty costs and consumer trust as the brand preps a new wave of software‑heavy EVs and hybrids.
