Ford Motor Co. is recalling nearly 28,000 Ford Edge crossovers to fix a fuel line pulse damper metal housing that might crack and result in a fire. The affected vehicles were built from September 2, 2010, through April 25, 2013, and are equipped with 2.0-liter engines.
“The fuel line pulse damper metal housing may crack as a result of an improper manufacturing process. A cracked fuel line pulse damper housing may result in a combination of fuel odor, weepage, or a continuous leak while the fuel system is pressurized. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire,” the National Highway Traffic Safety Association said in a statement.
The recall is scheduled to begin on February 28, when Ford will start notifying owners. The defective fuel lines will be replaced by company dealers free of charge.
Owners may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332 (recall number 13S13) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
