US population of affected vehicles: 360. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.

Parts purchased for an FSA can be returned for credit if required. See the EXCESS STOCK RETURN details in Labor Allowances and Parts Ordering Information for more information.

 

REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

In some of the affected vehicles, the low-pressure fuel supply line may be cut or damaged. This damage can result in liquid fuel leakage in the engine compartment. A damaged fuel supply line can result in liquid fuel leakage in the engine compartment. Liquid fuel and/or vapor that accumulates near a sufficiently hot surface may ignite, resulting in an under-hood fire and increasing the risk of injury. If the leak progresses, it can result in a partial or complete loss of fuel flow to the high-pressure fuel pump. A complete loss of fuel flow can cause a loss of motive power, which can increase the risk of a crash.

Chronology :

On February 13, 2024, a concern pertaining to a damaged leaking fuel supply line was brought to FordeBay logo’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) for review. FordeBay logo learned that on February 7, 2024, a repair technician at Flat Rock Assembly Plant (FRAP) identified a cut fuel supply line on a 2024 MY MustangeBay logo 2.3L after operators reported a fuel smell and experienced a stall during vehicle assembly. FRAP personnel inspected the fuel line stock at the vehicle assembly plant and found two additional damaged lines.

FordeBay logo and its supplier reviewed records and determined the suspect lines were used in production at FRAP between February 2 and February 11, 2024. FordeBay logo and its supplier completed inspection of loose stock and vehicles that were held at the plant.

As of March 6, 2024, FordeBay logo is not aware of any warranty, field reports, or customer complaints related to this concern.

On March 15, 2024, FordeBay logo’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.
