DETROIT - Ford Motor Co. is recalling nearly 260,000 vehicles, most of them large pickup trucks, to fix safety defects that include sudden stalling of diesel engines, U.S. federal safety regulators said Monday.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the stalling problem affects F-Series Super Duty pickups from the 2004-2005 model years as well as the 2004-2005 Ford Excursion full-size sport utility vehicle and E350 and E450 vans.
About 180,100 of these vehicles are equipped with 6.0 liter diesel engines and the recall stems from a potentially faulty fuel injection control module, NHTSA said.
Beyond the 260,000 vehicles that NHTSA revealed, Ford said an additional 18,000 vehicles are also being recalled in Canada and Mexico, company spokeswoman Kristen Kinley told Reuters Monday.
She said Ford was also investigating 2003 model-year F-Series Super Duty pickup trucks equipped with the 6.0 liter diesel engines due to various engine performance issues.

good time to get the oil change while its there
Figures it would be a Ford :yuk:
That would explain why mine went out about 3 weeks ago... leaving me to coast 10 miles into town..... At least there isn't anything wrong with their wheel bearings.... :angry2: :hammer2:
Haaaahaaahaaaahaaa!!! Should've bought a chevy, James.! :cry:
16,000 miles on my f-350 its been in for a bad Exhaust sencer and a short dealing w/ the tail lights. In park the reverse light came on after a couple days they stayed on and when off when I hit the brakes. WTF is next.
