Ford recalls 850,000 vehicles over faulty fuel pumps
July 11 (UPI) --Ford Motor Co. has recalled 850,000 trucks, SUVs and cars, including the popular F-150 pickup and the S550 Mustang, due to issues with the vehicles' fuel pumps, the company announced. The recall covers models produced between 2021 and 2023 and includes truck models all the way up to the F-550 and various sport utility vehicles, such as the Bronco, Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, Expedition and Navigator produced for the U.S. market. The vehicles covered in the recall all have Phinia-supplied fuel pumps that could fail unexpectedly, which can cause the vehicle to stall while in operation and increase the risk for a crash, the company said. Ford began investigating the fuel pump issue in the fall of 2022 after an unusual number of warranty claims and customer complaints. The investigation determined that the fuel pump openings were becoming clogged and not providing enough fuel to the engine. The fuel pumps in question were installed in vehicles between July 2021 and December 2022. The company has said it is working on a replacement part, adding that owners and lessees would be notified of the recall by July 18. Ford has said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with the faulty fuel pumps. Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

‘Stop Driving Now': Ford Issues Urgent Brake Recall For Super Duty Owners
Ford Motor Company has issued four new recalls impacting over 335,000 vehicles, including a serious 'Do Not Drive' order for certain Super Duty trucks due to a critical brake failure risk. The latest recalls bring Ford's total for the year to 76 separate safety actions—more than any other automaker, including General Motors, Toyota, Honda, and Volkswagen. Vehicles affected: 2025 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Built between March 19 and May 4, 2025 2,345 total units Problem: Some trucks may be missing a brake booster pushrod retaining spring, which can cause the brake pedal to disconnect, leading to total brake failure. Ford's response: The error was linked to an assembly line worker who was still in training. Ford and federal regulators have issued a 'Do Not Drive' order for affected trucks. Fix: Dealers will inspect and install the missing spring if needed. Owner notifications began going out on June 18. Vehicles affected: 2025 Mustang Mach-E 276 total units Problem: A manufacturing defect left a burr on the transmission park rod, preventing the vehicle from properly engaging in 'Park.' This could allow the vehicle to roll away when parked. Fix: Dealers will replace the transmission park rod assembly free of charge. Owners will be notified starting in July 2025. Vehicles affected: 2025 four-door Bronco 27,768 units built between January 21 and April 29, 2025 Problem: The left rear door can be opened from the inside even if the child lock is engaged. Ford attributes this to part interference, causing the child lock to malfunction. Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the rear door latch if necessary. Notification letters begin on June 23. Vehicles affected: 2020–2025 Ford Explorer 2020–2025 Lincoln Aviator 304,662 units Problem: The second-row seat switch bezel may have been installed incorrectly, causing the seat to unexpectedly fold or slide forward, including while driving or during a crash.

Ford Recalls Trucks And SUVs For Faulty Rear Cameras
Read the full story on The Auto Wire In the past while, Ford has dealt with an inordinate number of vehicle recalls, and yet another one has been issued for certain full-size trucks and SUVs. According to an announcement from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear camera on the big vehicles might suddenly not work or show a distorted image, potentially leading to a total 72,624 vehicles are affected by this safety recall. They include certain 2021 Expeditions; 2021 to 2022 Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, F-600; and 2020 to 2022 Lincoln Corsairs. All except for the Lincoln are full-size models with giant blindspots, including at the tailgate, so the risk of hitting another vehicle or reversing over a person or animal is high should the rear camera malfunction. Considering this is for full-size models where it's hard to see what's behind you without the camera, this isn't the sort of thing we would ignore or hope doesn't affect you one day. Unfortunately, you can't get it fixed, at least not quite yet. NHTSA says a repair for the issue hasn't been formulated quite yet. But owners will start receiving notices in the mail that their vehicle needs recall work performed starting next week. In the meantime, if your camera stops working, you'll need to be extra cautious when reversing. We don't know if you'd be able to tell the image produced by the camera is distorted, but if you suspect that's the case, you'll need to be more careful. We suppose if you have another vehicle to drive you can use that instead, but it sounds like a timeline for repairing the problem isn't available yet. If you're unsure your truck or SUV is part of this recall, you can contact Ford customer service at 866-436-7332 and reference recall number 25S05. Alternatively, you can contact NHTSA at 888-327-4236 or go to and enter your VIN to check for any recalls on your vehicle.
