Ford recalls nearly 300,000 trucks due to defective fuel pumps : These are the affected models
Ford has recalled almost 300,000 diesel-engine trucks over issues with the fuel pump that could cause a loss of drive power and increased risk of crashes.
The Ford Motor Company has issued a safety recall for almost 300,000 pickup trucks due to possibly defective high pressure fuel pumps. The company is recalling the vehicles due to problems with the delivery of fuel.
According to a memo from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “biodiesel deposits may form on the pump drivetrain roller components, which could lead to failure of the high pressure fuel pump.” Such a failure to deliver fuel could cause a loss of drive power and increase the risk of a crash.
