Fuel Pump – 2014-2015 Ford & Lincoln

NHTSA 15V005

SUMMARY:

Ford Motor Company (Ford) notified the agency on January 8, 2015, that they are recalling certain model year 2014 Ford Escape vehicles manufactured April 15, 2014, to May 8, 2014, and 2015 Lincoln MKC vehicles manufactured April 21, 2014, to May 15, 2014. On April 30, 2015, Ford expanded the recall to cover an additional 45,505 vehicles, including certain model year 2014-2015 Ford Transit Connect vehicles manufactured November 11, 2013, to August 29, 2014, 2014-2015 Ford Fiesta vehicles manufactured April 10, 2014, to June 17, 2014 and 2014 Ford Edge vehicles manufactured April 30, 2014, to May 21, 2014. Improper nickel plating of components within the fuel pump may result in the fuel pump failing.

CONSEQUENCE:

If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump, free of charge. The recall began on February 27, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s number for this recall is 14S30.

NOTES:

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

In some of the affected vehicles, the fuel pump may have been manufactured incorrectly, leading to increased susceptibility to mechanical pump seizure accompanied by a loss of fuel pressure. This may result in a no start condition, or an engine stall without warning or the ability to restart the vehicle. An engine stall without warning while driving increases the risk of a crash.
