What's wrong?
In NHTSA campaign 14V002, the fuel line pulse damper on the 2012-2013 Ford Edge with the 2.0L engine is part of the gasoline fuel system. The damper helps smooth pressure pulses in the fuel line while the engine is running, so fuel reaches the engine at a controlled pressure.
On affected Edge vehicles, the metal housing on that damper was made with an improper manufacturing process. The housing can crack while the fuel system is pressurized. Once cracked, it can allow fuel odor, fuel weepage, or a steady fuel leak from the damaged area.
There is no warning sign before failure. After the housing cracks, the signs are fuel smell or visible fuel at the damper area while the fuel system is under pressure.
Who's affected?
The fuel-system component is the same across the 2012 and 2013 Edge scope.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific SUV.
What's the safety risk?
A fuel leak near an ignition source can result in a fire. Schedule the recall repair soon, and keep heat, sparks, and open flames away from any fuel leak while you arrange service. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012-2013 Ford Edge is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer to ask whether the free fuel-line replacement is open for your VIN.
- Schedule the fuel-line replacement that removes the cracked pulse-damper housing risk and helps prevent fuel leakage near an ignition source.
- Bring the recall notice if Ford mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V002 and Ford recall 13S13 when you call.
- Avoid driving if you smell fuel or see fuel leaking. Ask the Ford dealer how to move the vehicle safely before the repair.
What happens at the repair
Ford's filed remedy calls for the fuel line to be replaced with one that does not have a damper. Once the dealer repair is available, a Ford technician replaces the affected fuel line, including the pulse damper area tied to fuel odor, weepage, or a continuous pressurized leak. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Ford also states that vehicles repaired under the earlier 12V-438 recall still need the current remedy applied.
