What's wrong?
The fuel delivery module in these 2021-2022 Ford Escape, Corsair, and Bronco Sport vehicles sits in the fuel tank and moves gasoline from the tank toward the engine. It includes the pump and related tubing that keep steady fuel pressure while the engine is running. When pressure stays stable, the engine gets the fuel it needs to keep idling and driving.
On affected vehicles, the fuel delivery module was built with suspect fuel tubes from a supplier. The tube wall is thinner than Ford's specification, so the module can leak fuel inside the tank instead of sending the correct pressure forward. That internal leak drops fuel pressure, and the engine can stall while the vehicle is being driven.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the engine loses power or stalls, the fuel delivery module is one part the dealer will check against this recall.
Who's affected?
Covers three SUV nameplates across the 2021 and 2022 model years, all tied to the same fuel delivery module.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
An engine stall increases the risk of a crash because the vehicle can lose power while moving. There is no warning sign before the stall, so confirm whether your VIN is included and schedule the recall repair soon. The dealer replaces the fuel delivery module. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2022 Ford Escape, Corsair, or Bronco Sport is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the free fuel delivery module replacement that fixes the low-fuel-pressure engine stall issue.
- Bring the recall notice if Ford mailed one. If not, reference recall number 21V625 and Ford recall 21S38 when you call.
- Schedule the repair promptly, because an engine stall increases crash risk.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician replaces the fuel delivery module inside the fuel tank. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through Ford's original warranty program, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the warranty provided a free repair for this concern. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
