Ford Motor Company has discovered a fuel leak issue in a small number of vehicles, starting with the 2024 Mustang and 2025 Explorer. The problem is caused by faulty fuel injectors that lack O-ring support discs. This defect allows fuel to leak onto hot engine components, increasing the risk of fire.
Approximately 24 vehicles are believed to be affected. To address this issue, Ford is offering a free repair that involves replacing the fuel injector O-rings and support discs. The faulty injectors are the Bosch Charleston P2GE-9F593-AA model, which can be purchased online for around $30.
Ford began investigating this problem in July after a warranty claim revealed a missing O-ring support disc. Since then, they have identified 10 related reports. Fortunately, there have been no reported fires or injuries. Dealers have been notified of the recall, and affected owners will receive letters between September 30 and October 4.
The replacement parts for the O-ring and support disc are PG2E-9F596-AA and PG2E-9F596-BA. It’s important for affected owners to schedule a repair as soon as possible. The recall is a safety-related issue, and delaying the repair can increase the risk of a fire. Ford encourages owners to contact their local dealer to schedule an appointment.
Additionally, Ford has implemented measures to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future. This includes increased quality control checks and inspections of fuel injectors during the manufacturing process. Ford Motor Company has issued a recall for thousands of vehicles due to potential engine problems.
The recall affects several popular Ford models, including the Mustang, Explorer, Escape, and Corsair. The affected vehicles were manufactured at the Flat Rock plant between July 31, 2023, and March 19, 2024. The recall is due to a potential issue with the engine that could lead to serious problems. Ford is urging owners of affected vehicles to have their vehicles inspected and repaired as soon as possible.
While the exact nature of the engine problem has not been disclosed, Ford has stated that it could potentially lead to engine failure. This could pose a serious safety hazard for drivers and passengers, as a sudden loss of power could result in an accident.
Owners of affected vehicles can determine if their vehicle is included in the recall by checking their vehicle identification number (VIN) against Ford’s database. Ford has also set up a dedicated hotline for customers to contact for more information or to schedule a repair appointment.
It is important to note that this is not the first time Ford has issued a recall for engine problems. In recent years, the automaker has faced criticism for a number of recalls related to engine defects. However, Ford has maintained that it is committed to ensuring the safety of its vehicles and has taken steps to address these issues.
Owners of affected vehicles are encouraged to take this recall seriously and have their vehicles inspected and repaired as soon as possible. By doing so, they can help to protect themselves and their passengers from potential harm.
