Engine Fire Recall. Ford is
recalling nearly 260,000
vehicles, including F-Series
Super Duty Pickups from the
2004-2005 model years, and
the Ford Excursion Full Size
SUV and E350 and E450 vans
for the 2004-2005 model years.
About 180,100 of these vehicles
have 6.0 liter diesel engines
that have a potentially faulty
fuel injection control module.
There have been reports of
two minor injuries resulting
from this problem. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) announced that Ford
was recalling 78,675 Super
Duty Pickups and chassis
cab vehicles from the 2005
model year because their
fuel line may separate from
the main fuel bundle. The
NHTSA said that fuel line
separation can cause engine
stalling or leakage, possibly
resulting in a fire. The
trucks affected by this recall
include the F-250, F-350,
F-450 and F-550 Super Duty
pickups. These trucks were
equipped with 5.4 or 6.8
liter gasoline engines. Twenty-five
