- The defect

- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components, can increase the risk of a fire.

- Dealers will update the engine control software to include fuel injector leak detection and install a drain tube, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 24, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S16. This recall is an expansion of previous recall number 22V-859.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 42,652 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 88% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 78 times before this, most recently in July 2023 as 23V499000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 727 complaints with NHTSA, 157 of them before this campaign was filed. 139 of those name the fuel system, gasoline, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in February 2022, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 28 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V340000 (suspension), 26V123000 (back over prevention), 26V117000 (visibility), 25V829000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on March 8, 2024 as campaign 24V187000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
