DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Ford Motor Co. is recalling nearly 260,000 vehicles because they have engines that can stall without warning or fuel lines that can separate, officials said Monday.

One recall affects more than 180,000 pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans with 6.0 liter diesel engines. Those include the 2004 and 2005 models of F-Series Super Duty pickups, the Ford Excursion SUV and E350 and E450 vans.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said certain vehicles with 6.0 liter diesel engines can stall without warning, possibly leading to crashes. The recall stems from a problem with fuel injection control modules.

Ford also is recalling more than 78,000 F-series trucks because the fuel line can separate from the connection to the main fuel bundle, possibly resulting in a loss of power and stalled engines. Fuel leakage could result in a fire, NHSTA said. The second recall affects F-series trucks with gasoline engines.

When I was reading that I was thinking "cam position sensor". But I digress....................

I called the dealer today and had an Oasis report run on my VIN. It showed two recalls. One for the pipe replacement on the turbo and the other for the fuel injector wiring harness inspection/replacement.

I have an appointment tomorrow to take it in for the needed service. The dealer already had the parts in stock.

Mine is an 02/04 build date.

You can run your own VIN to check for recalls. I think for the most part it works, although, I have read a post where somebody said it did not list an active recall. So be sure to check the dealer if you think one is active but does not appear.

Yes I tried this site prior to calling the dealer. The site did not list any recalls.

Just picked up my truck with both recalls completed. The dealer had it for about 8 hours total. They replaced both the CAC tube and the wiring harness. The truck only has 10K miles on it so I was surprised the harness needed to be swapped out.

If your in the Austin, Round Rock or Georgetown, Texas area and you need quality service done I would highly recommend Mack Haik Ford in Georgetown. They shuttled me both to and from work to drop off and pick up the truck. I also received three status update calls from them letting me know how the work was progressing. Very courteous and helpful staff. Highly recommended!
