Ford Recalls Thousands of Cars Over Fuel Pump Defect: Here’s What Indian Owners Must Know

We’ve broken down all the important details in simple, easy-to-understand language—what the issue is, which models are affected, how to check your car, and what you should do next.

What Is the Fuel Pump Issue?

Ford’s recall centers around a defective fuel pump module, specifically an impeller that could fail without warning. When this happens, the fuel pump may stop working entirely, causing the engine to stall or fail to start. This can be extremely dangerous, especially if your car shuts down while driving at high speed.

The company discovered the issue after receiving multiple complaints and conducting internal tests. As a result, they are offering a free fix to all affected vehicle owners.

Which Ford Cars Are Affected by the Recall?

As of July 2025, the following models have been identified as part of the recall:

Ford EcoSport (2018–2021)
Ford Mustang (2018–2020)
Ford F-150 (2018–2020)
Ford Escape (2018–2021)
Ford Expedition (2020)
Ford Ranger (2019–2021)

If you own any of these vehicles, it’s important to verify whether your car is included in the recall campaign.

Are Ford cars in India affected?

Yes, some Ford cars sold in India—particularly the EcoSport and Mustang—could be part of this recall. Although Ford stopped manufacturing in India in 2021, the brand continues to provide after-sales service and is responsible for global safety-related recalls.

Indian owners should stay alert and check their car’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to confirm if their vehicle is on the list.

How to Check If Your Ford Vehicle Is Recalled

To find out if your car is part of the fuel pump recall:

Locate your 17-digit VIN (found on your dashboard or vehicle registration).
Visit the official Ford Recall Checker.
Enter your VIN to see your vehicle’s recall status.
If listed, contact your nearest Ford service center to book a free inspection and repair.

This process is quick, easy, and free of cost.

What Will Ford Do to Fix the Problem?

Ford is offering free replacement of the fuel pump module for all affected vehicles. Once you confirm your VIN, you’ll be able to schedule an appointment at your local Ford-authorized service center.

In India, this service may be available through selected Ford partners, as the brand continues to maintain its customer support despite ending local production.

Why This Recall Matters

Even if your car is running smoothly today, a defective fuel pump can fail suddenly and pose a major risk on the road. Ignoring the recall may lead to:

Unexpected engine shutdown while driving
Inability to start the car
Increased risk of accidents
