Ford recalls 957,000 vehicles for fuel pump issue

Ford is recalling around 957,000 vehicles from model years 2021 to 2023 in the United States and Canada due to a potential issue with the low-pressure fuel pump. Specifically, 107,534 vehicles are affected in Canada.

The problem
According to documents from the US NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), the equivalent of Transport Canada, the low-pressure pump issue could cause the engine to stall.

Transport Canada explains that on some vehicles, “the low-pressure fuel pump could fail. If this happens, the engine may run rough or may not start and the check engine light may turn on. This could also result in a sudden loss of engine power while driving.”

The automotive safety authority received six consumer complaints alleging loss of power due to pump failure. No injuries or accidents have been reported, a Ford spokesperson said.

This marks Ford’s 89th recall in the United States so far in 2025, the most by any automaker, by far, according to the NHTSA. Stellantis is a distant second with 18 recalls.

Before a fuel pump fails, drivers may notice poor engine performance, including misfires, rough running, reduced power or an illuminated check engine light, the NHTSA stated in an advisory to dealerships.

Phinia Inc. has been identified as the supplier of the fuel pumps.

Failures are more likely when the fuel level is low or in hot weather, the NHTSA added.
