Filed Mar 6, 2026 · Fuel system · NC

The CP4 pump in my truck exploded sending metal fragments through the fuel system. I was going 55 mph, it went into low engine power mode and then turned off leaving me stranded on the side on an interstate. This is a known issue with this model. There were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms prior to this happening. The fuel pump failure is catastrophic.

The frame cracked, because of "customer satiisfaction program" 21b04 we inspected our frame on a regular basis. We are an independent repair shop. We sent pictures to ford and they said wrong type of chassis to be covered. If you look back at a "terex" safety notice "sn-610-14" ford has had this problem since 2006.
