Ford Recall: What Car Owners Need to Know and Why Legal Help Matters

Ford Recalls 850,000 SUVs, Pickups, and Cars Over Defective Fuel Pump

Ford Motor Company recalls more than 850,000 vehicles due to a defective fuel pump that may cause the engine to stall while driving — a serious safety risk that could lead to accidents and injuries. The recall affects several of Ford’s most popular models, including the F-150, Bronco, and Explorer, among others.

According to a report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue stems from a low-pressure fuel pump failure that can lead to unexpected engine stalls, putting drivers and passengers in danger. The affected vehicles were manufactured between 2021 and 2023, and over 844,000 of them are located in the United States.

Ford Vehicles Affected by the Fuel Pump Recalls

If you own one of the following models, your vehicle may be part of this recall:

  • 2021–2023 Ford Bronco

  • 2022 Ford Expedition

  • 2021–2023 Ford Explorer

  • 2021–2022 Ford F-150

  • 2021–2022 Ford Mustang

  • 2021–2023 Lincoln Aviator

Ford has not yet released a permanent fix for the problem. The company began notifying affected owners on July 14, and a second letter will be sent once a remedy is available.

Attorney James Johnson, who has handled lemon law cases for years, emphasizes the urgency of acting quickly:

“Engine stalls at high speeds can be catastrophic. Ford’s failure to immediately provide a solution only adds to the danger,” Johnson says. “If your vehicle is part of this recall and you’ve already experienced problems, don’t wait. You could be entitled to legal relief.”

Furthermore, the fuel pump issue is just one of many by Ford which has already issued 88 safety recalls in just the first half of 2025 — more than any automaker has issued in an entire year. If your Ford or Lincoln has been in and out of the shop without resolution, your safety may be compromised, and you should not have to wait for the manufacturer to catch up.
