What Is The Ford Fuel Pump Driver Module Recall?
In September of 2014, Ford issued a recall for certain model vehicles due to an issue with the fuel pump driver module. This recall affected over 920,000 vehicles in the United States and Canada. The recall was issued after it was discovered that the fuel pump driver module could fail, causing the engine to stall without warning. This could lead to a crash.
There have been no reports of accidents or injuries related to this issue. However, Ford is urging all customers with affected vehicles to bring their car into a dealership to have the module replaced. The recall is expected to begin in November of 2014.

What Are The Symptoms Of A Faulty Fuel Pump Driver Module?
If your car is having trouble starting, especially if it’s making a clicking noise, it could be a sign of a faulty fuel pump driver module. Other symptoms include the car stalling or sputtering, particularly when accelerating, or the check engine light coming on. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s important to take your car to a mechanic to have it checked out.
A fuel pump driver module is responsible for controlling the electric current to the fuel pump, so if it’s not working properly, the fuel pump may not be getting enough power. This can lead to the car not starting or running properly. In some cases, a faulty fuel pump driver module can also cause the check engine light to come on.
If you think you may have a faulty fuel pump driver module, the best thing to do is to take your car to a mechanic and have it checked out. They can run some tests to see if the module is the problem and, if it is, they can replace it.
How Will Ford Remedy The Situation?
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many American automakers are struggling. Ford is no exception. The company has announced a series of cost-cutting measures, including layoffs and plant closures.
But Ford is also taking steps to try to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on its business. The company is working on new ways to sanitize its factories and protect workers. It is also working on new vehicles that can be built with fewer people and less contact.
Ultimately, only time will tell how successful Ford’s efforts will be. But the company is clearly trying to do what it can to weather the storm.
It is hoped that you have a clear understanding. If there are still any questions, please do not hesitate to ask in the comments section.
