Inside The Mind Of An Automotive Geek

Another famous car maker is set to recall a huge number of 1.2 million cars because of faulty car parts.

Before, we received news that Ford is going to recall a huge number of cars and now another recall of 1.2 million Ford trucks would have to be done because of the presence of faulty engine sensors that can be a cause for the diesel motor to suddenly stall which can lead to accidents.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration administers the recall and they posted the letter on their official website. The recall involves a huge amount of trucks made between 1997 and 2003 which includes F-Super Duty pickups, Excursion SUV and E-series vans. These following affected models all wear the 7.3 liter diesel engine.

The letter mentioned the effect of the faulty sensor to the trucks. The faulty engine stops the vehicle which causes some accidents. Ford reported 14 incidents of car accidents in connected with the installed engine. The trucks lost control because of it. Before the month ends, Ford will begin notifying customers to bring in their trucks for free repair.
