Ford Recalls Approximately 86,000 Vehicles For Fuel Pump Control Modules

Ford Motor Company is recalling some 2013 to 2015 model-year Ford and Lincoln sedans and crossovers over an issue with fuel pump control modules that could fail, causing either a no-start or a random-stalling condition.

The defect: Ford has given no information as to what conditions contribute to the failure of the affected fuel pump control modules, only stating that the units have exhibited a high incidence of failure.

The hazards: the fuel pump control module in affected vehicles could fail without warning, causing a no-start condition or random stalling while the vehicle is being driven, with no ability to restart. In the latter case, the risk of being involved in a crash increases. Ford is aware of no accidents or injuries relating to this issue.

Affected vehicles:

  • 2013-15 Ford Taurus with 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 manufactured August 25, 2011 through May 31, 2015 at the Chicago Assembly Plant

  • 77,502 are in the United States and its territories
  • 7,353 are in Canada
  • 1,083 are in Mexico

The fix: authorized Ford dealers will inspect the fuel pump control modules in affected vehicles, replacing them as-needed free-of-charge.
