Ford is recalling more than 850,000 vehicles across the United States over fears that their engines could stall, according to reports.
The vehicle’s low-pressure fuel pumps may fail, potentially resulting in the engines stalling, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a warning.
The recall affects certain models of Lincoln Aviator, F-150 trucks and Mustang vehicles, among others. Ford is still developing the remedy.
The auto safety authority said it received six consumer complaints alleging loss of power due to pump failure and estimates that 10 percent of the potentially affected vehicles have the defect.

Before a fuel pump fails, drivers may notice poor engine performance, including misfiring, rough running, reduced power, or a check engine light, NHTSA said in a notice to dealers.
Failures are more likely when fuel levels are low or in hot weather, it added.
Owners of the vehicles being recalled can expect letters in the coming days, the NHTSA said.

The models affected include the 2021-2023 Bronco, 2022 Expedition, 2021-2023 Explorer and 2021-2022 Mustang, 2021-2023 Lincoln Aviators and 2021-2022 Lincoln Navigators.
Also impacted are some 2021-2022 F-150s, 2021-2023 F-250 SDs, 2021-2023 F-350 SDs, 2021-2023 F450 SDs and 2021-2023 F550 SDs.
It is just the latest in a year-long stream of recalls for Ford after the motor manufacturer was forced to issue more recalls last month.
The Detroit automaker issued six recalls on June 16, according to a bulletin from the NHTSA.
Overall, 534,755 vehicles – including some of America’s best-selling models – were impacted by that round of recalls.
The carmaker has issued the most recalls of any manufacturer in the US this year, and also led the industry in recalls in 2022 and 2023 before dropping to third place in 2024.
In a 2024 earnings call, Ford CEO Jim Farley said the company spent $4.8 billion annually on recalls.
