Ford says that before the fuel pump fails, drivers may experience poor engine performance, such as “misfiring or running rough,” a triggered check-engine light or reduced engine power. The issue is “more likely to occur under low fuel or warm weather and hot fuel conditions in the fuel tank,” the company says.
The NHTSA says they have investigated customer complaints since September 2022, adding that “contamination” was found to have blocked “jet pump orifices on some returned parts.”
“Ford found that the supplier had made changes to the jet pump process to accommodate an increase in build complexity in June 2021 and identified that a tier 3 supplier for the GEN 4.6 fuel pump pumping chamber was not statistically capable for internal clearances and utilizing the full tolerance range of the supplier specifications,” a report from the NHTSA states.
The resulting issue of a rise in internal friction began in early July 2021, the agency said.
A remedy for the issue is under development, and owners will receive notification letters later this month alerting them of the recall. A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available.
