Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ford has recalled more than 850,000 vehicles across the United States due to a possible defect in the low-pressure fuel pump that could cause engines to stall while driving. The recall, which impacts a wide range of Ford and Lincoln-branded models produced in recent years, was announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on July 8. Owners affected by the recall will begin receiving notifications by mail from Monday, July 14, but an official fix has not yet been disclosed by the carmaker. Newsweek contacted Ford for comment by email outside of regular working hours on Friday. A Ford Bronco on display in New York in 2023. A Ford Bronco on display in New York in 2023. NDZ/STAR MAX/IPx Why It Matters Engine stalling while a vehicle is driving can increase the risk of collisions, especially at high speeds or in dense traffic. Although Ford has reported no known accidents or injuries linked to the issue, drivers are being urged to remain vigilant for potential warning signs, including poor engine performance, reduced power or an illuminated check engine light. What To Know Ford indicated that failure of the low-pressure fuel pump could lead to an engine stalling while at rest or driving. The NHTSA said that fuel pump failure is more likely to occur "in low fuel or warm weather and hot fuel conditions in the fuel tank." It added: "Loss of fuel pressure and flow from the low-pressure fuel pump can be due to internal contamination of the jet pump, specifically in low fuel conditions, and reduced fuel pump internal clearances that result in an increase of internal friction and sensitivity to vapor lock." Which Models Are Impacted? The recall affects specific Ford and Lincoln models manufactured in recent years. According to NHTSA documents, these include: 2021–2023 Ford Bronco 2021–2023 Ford Explorer 2021–2023 Lincoln Aviator 2021–2023 Ford F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD, and F-550 SD 2021–2022 Lincoln Navigator 2021–2022 Ford Mustang 2021–2022 Ford F-150 Some 2022 Ford Expedition models Ford estimated that roughly 10 percent of the 850,318 vehicles included in the recall may be affected by the faulty fuel pump. What People Are Saying The NHTSA said in its safety recall report: "Prior to fuel pump failure, the customer may experience poor engine performance (misfiring or running rough), a check engine light, or a reduction in engine power. Fuel pump failure is more likely to occur in low fuel or warm weather and hot fuel conditions in the fuel tank." It added in a letter to Ford: "Under 49 U.S.C. § 30112(a)(3), it is illegal for a manufacturer, to sell, offer for sale, import, or introduce or deliver into interstate commerce, a motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment that contains a safety defect once the manufacturer has notified NHTSA about that safety defect. This prohibition does not apply once the motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment has been remedied according to the manufacturer's instructions." What Happens Next Ford will notify affected owners from July 14 about the potential risks. The carmaker stated that once a solution is available, impacted owners will receive a second letter instructing them on how to obtain a free repair at authorized dealerships. Ongoing updates from Ford and federal safety authorities are expected as work on the remedy progresses. This article includes reporting by The Associated Press.

Daywatch: Pope Leo XIV's boyhood home in Dolton purchased
Good morning, Chicago. Dolton has closed on the purchase of Pope Leo XIV's boyhood home in the village, but what will happen with the modest brick building is up in the air. The village closed this week on the home, 212 E. 141st Place, paying $375,000, including commission fees, Mayor Jason House said yesterday. House said a steering committee is being organized to figure out how best to use the property. 'We will then lay out the plans to trustees and the community,' the mayor said. Read the full story here. And here are the top stories you need to know to start your day, including Ford recalling over 850,000 cars, several top CPS staffers leave the district and a former Cubs manager passing. Today's eNewspaper edition | Subscribe to more newsletters | Asking Eric | Horoscopes | Puzzles & Games | Today in History European officials reached a new deal with Israel to allow desperately needed food and fuel into Gaza, the European Union's foreign policy chief said yesterday, hours after an Israeli airstrike killed 15 people, including 10 children, waiting for help outside a medical clinic. The children's deaths drew outrage from humanitarian groups even as Israel allowed the first delivery of fuel to Gaza in more than four months, though still less than a day's supply, according to the United Nations. 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. Several top Chicago Public Schools staff members have left the district following the departure of former schools chief Pedro Martinez. The five exiting officials include the district's chiefs of information technology, nutrition and multilingual education. The district's general counsel also left, as did the former CEO's chief of staff. Martinez's last day as district CEO was June 18. Federal prosecutors yesterday asked for nearly six years in prison for former ComEd lobbyist Michael McClain, whose unique position as a confidant to then-House Speaker Michael Madigan was at the center of what they say was a 'stunning' scheme to win the speaker's assistance with the utility's legislation in Springfield. 'McClain's plan was illegal to its core,' prosecutors wrote in their 48-page sentencing filing. 'In securing benefits for both Madigan and ComEd, McClain corrupted the legislative process and the internal control processes of a large, regulated utility … McClain's repeated overstepping of legal lines in this case is stunning.' As Country Club Hills District 160 reckons with board members' big spending on travel, the district's board approved personnel changes and voted to suspend its superintendent Tuesday. While the board approved the resignations of Southwood Middle School Principal Phillip Bazile and assistant principals last month, Tuesday's emergency meeting allowed them to appoint interim replacements and suspend Superintendent Duane Meighan for 10 days at the end of the month, district parent Sequoia Williams said. Like many Chicago Cubs managers who tried and failed to end the team's legendary championship drought, Lee Elia didn't last too long in his job. Elia managed 285 games for the Cubs from 1982-83, going 127-158 before general manager Dallas Green fired him during the '83 season. But Elia, who died Wednesday at age 87, will always remain a significant part of Cubs lore, thanks to a rant for the ages that's celebrated every April 29, the date of his 1983 tirade against what he called the 'so-called Cubs fans.' Related: The new agency in charge of regulating name, image and likeness deals in college sports sent a letter to schools yesterday saying it had rejected deals between players and donor-backed collectives formed over the past several years to funnel money to athletes or their schools. Those arrangements hold no 'valid business purpose,' the memo said, and don't adhere to rules that call for outside NIL deals to be between players and companies that provide goods or services to the general public for profit. The thing about the Martin Theatre is there's not quite enough room to dance. That didn't stop audiences from trying anyway on Wednesday, when Irakere, the storied Cuban band, visited Ravinia for its ongoing 50-year anniversary celebrations. It was a dance-worthy occasion, times three, with original Irakere members Chucho Valdés, Arturo Sandoval and Paquito d'Rivera — now all Latin jazz titans in their own rights — reunited onstage. Sketched out on an air sickness bag, the first Birkin handbag — the prototype for fashion's must-have accessory — sold for a staggering 8.6 million euros ($10.1 million), including fees, yesterday in Paris to become the second most valuable fashion item ever sold at auction. The winning bid of 7 million euros drew gasps and applause from the audience. The price crushed the previous auction record for a handbag — $513,040 paid in 2021 for a Hermès White Himalaya Niloticus Crocodile Diamond Retourne Kelly 28. The 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' creator and 'Seinfeld' co-creator will act as executive producer, writer and star of the limited series consisting of six half-hour episodes, produced by the Obamas' company, Higher Ground. The show marks the 78-year-old David's return to HBO just over a year after the end of the 12th and final season of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.'

Ford Recalls Over 8,50,000 Cars In US Due To Potential Fuel Pump Failure
New York: Ford is recalling more than 8,50,000 of its cars across the US 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. The Associated Press reached out to Ford for further comments Thursday. The Michigan-based automaker isn't aware of any accidents or injuries related to this recall, this week's report notes. But owners should look out for potential warnings. Prior to fuel pump failure, customers may encounter poor engine performance, for example, a check engine light or a decrease in engine power. Fuel pump failure is "more likely to occur" during warm weather or if there's low fuel in the tank, the recall report notes. And loss of fuel pressure and flow can be caused by internal contamination of a car's jet pump, amid other factors. Ford also identified supplier changes during a review of the manufacturing process, the report adds. Ford estimates that 10% of the 850,318 vehicles it's recalling in the U.S. have this fuel pump risk. The recall covers certain Ford Broncos, Explorers and Lincoln Aviators between the 2021 and 2023 model years, in addition to 2021-2023 model year F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD and F-550 SD vehicles. Select 2021-2022 Lincoln Navigators, Ford Mustangs and F-150s are also impacted, as well as some 2022 Expeditions.
