Found On Road Dead? Ford Recalls 88K Cars For Stalling Issue

There are few things worse than having your relatively new car stall on you without warning. That’s why Ford is recalling nearly 90,000 vehicles with a defect that could leave your car dead — and unable to restart — in the middle of the road. Ford announced Wednesday that it will recall 88,151 vehicles — 77,502 in the United States, 7,353 in Canada, and 1,083 in Mexico — to replace fuel pump control modules. The recall, which has not yet been posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, covers model year 2013 to 2015 Ford Taurus, Ford Flex, Lincoln MKS, Lincoln MKT, and Ford Police Interceptor sedans equipped with 3.5-liter gasoline turbocharged direct injection engines.
